Analyzing America’s Gun Homicide Epidemic

The United States has 27 times more gun deaths per capita than the EU, and approximately 450 times more than places like the UK and South Korea.  How is this possible?

The most common explanation is gun control laws.   For example, Japanese citizens are permitted to own guns, but these weapons are not sold in department stores to any deranged child who wants one.

The woman at left has a different theory, i.e., that the U.S. is singular in the world for its vast indifference to the welfare of one another.  If our kids grow up ignorant and mean, that’s someone else’s problem.
