An interesting article.

American gun use is out of control. Shouldn't the world intervene?

The death toll from firearms in the US suggests that the country is gripped by civil war

Henry Porter
The Observer, Saturday 21 September 2013 17.12 EDT

The annual toll from firearms in the US is running at 32,000 deaths and climbing, even though the general crime rate is on a downward path (it is 40% lower than in 1980). If this perennial slaughter doesn't qualify for intercession by the UN and all relevant NGOs, it is hard to know what does.

No it's not "out of control" and the rest of the world has their own problems to worry about.

You are free to leave and go live somewhere else.

Around 20,000 of those deaths are SUICIDE!
