America's Gun Problem, Explained In 90 Seconds

[wolf63]

This video isn't really news but it attempts to explain the gun problem in the US. I will also post a longer version of the video.

I did note that only England and not Wales or Scotland were mentioned - perhaps if all the figures for the UK were added together the figure for us may have been different.

This is the longer video. I watched it last night and it did seem very long - but I have a short attention span and problems concentrating.

I'll settle for the mercifully short version thanks.

So scary. Words fail me when I try to think about the USA's attitude to guns. Just unbelievable and terrible.

The short version is so-so. The longer version puts the case better.
But for the most part I think, in the UK, one tends to be speaking to the converted. Mind you I notice what we in the UK are not one of the higher developed countries. I hadn't realised that. Doh !

Here is the data for the country comparison.

The list of deveoloped contries does not include us because we are not developed, but because we barely register. The list shows those nearest America. England and Wales score 0.7 deaths per million.
