1. The number of guns per capita. 90 guns for every 100 people. Yemen is a distant second at 61.


Number of firearms in America - between 223,000,000 and 290,000,000 (Small Arms Survey, Graduate Institue of International Studies, 2008)


With a population of 311 million and 290 million guns, that's about 90 guns for every 100 people.

You're welcome.

Yep - batting 33%. Good job!

One report says the shooters extended magazine jammed on him. The US military doesn't use this. They use 20 & 30 rounders.

If a crazy wants to kill people he can do it with a single shot a six shooter or any combination, because the unarmed victims will cowar and lay there till the perp is stopped or thay are killed.

Or until someone stops him when he has to reload...like the Gabby Giffords shooting. If that shooter had a smaller magazine he would have been stopped sooner and lives may have been saved.

If an armed citizen had been present then the perp would most likely have been stopped sooner as well.
Cops did not RUSH in to disarm the crazy they held there position OUTSIDE the area as to not be a victim themselves, they are not hero types that Dirty Harry portrade, so even with a smaller mag, he would have been able to reload and continue the carnage.
Get a focus on,,, It is not the weapon, it is Not the magazine, IT IS the person that is deranged and will do whatever they planned to carry out their agenda.

If he had a smaller magazine he may have brought more than one loaded and ready gun to the party.

After a tragedy like that, it is the most logical thing in the world to ask what went wrong and how we can fix it. When you ask that question, the obvious answer is our gun laws. It's awfully hard to stab 70 people and kill 12 of them in a short period of time like that. It's very easy to murder those same people if you have an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and two glocks.

This is the obvious conclusion that the NRA desperately wants you to avoid. So, they do a brilliant trick where they tell you that you are not allowed to talk about the problem in the immediate aftermath of the violence and death their guns caused -- that would be politicizing the tragedy.

The only one I see talking about the NRA is you, you are the one that thinks you know the what they do, how they do it etc. Your as stupid as vl.

Of course, we don’t know, and perhaps never will, what exactly “made him” do what he did; but we know how he did it. Those who fight for the right of every madman and every criminal to have as many people-killing weapons as they want share moral responsibility for what happened last night—as they will when it happens again. And it will happen again.

So because we own guns and support our 2nd amendment, we are the ones responsible for what happened. That shows your real ignorance and stupidity. But you are right it will happen again, no matter if there is gun control or not. So who ya gonna blame then. Tell ya what, I blame the nutjob that did it. It was no else's fault but his, he bought the guns, he planted the explosives, he went there with the intent of doing bodily harm. No one else did it but him. It has nothing to do with anything other than he wanted to do it. Why is the unknown. Since you seems to what to put figures out there, try this one, go look up gun ownership vs commited crimes.
