So that means two of the five deadliest mass shootings since 1949 have happened in the past five weeks.

But mass shootings aren't the real problem. It's all the small day-by-day shootings that really add up.

The count is much higher than I would have assumed - 13,158 deaths and 26,950 injuries in 52,404 incidents so far this year.

Blimey! If I lived there I would sneak into Mexico. It looks much safer.

I'm just so bloody relieved i live in a country where it's really hard (or at least strictly regulated) to be able to get your hands on a gun.

It's just horrible these things.

Yes, really... Easy enough to get one, if you know where/who to go to.

I haven't been in a supermarket over here for a while, but I'm pretty sure they aren't stocking shooters.

Yeh i'm sure you can get 'em, I guess we're culturally just hardly ever exposed to guns, occasionally you see police with a machine gun, my uncle has a gun i've never seen it, thats about the limit of my exposure to weapons lifetime and that's probably not far off standard for a ~30yr old guy in the UK. Have to imagine in the USA for a hell of a lot of people exposure to guns is a lot higher, all police have 'em, your dad or your pals dad will have one etc, going "shooting" is a thing.

Yeah, the majority of people here have zero exposure to guns, I went clay pigeon shooting on Boxing Day last year and my mind was blown by the 100 guys there all ROFLing about with shotguns!

Round where my family are from the majority of families will have one or more gun, that’s just what us country bumpkins do, what you have just described I’ve done countless times.

In the UK if you own a gun in the sticks you're a farmer, but in the city you're a gangster.

No shit Sherlock, Seems they don’t need guns these days as acid is good enough for them in many spots....

Republican Senate candidate Roy Moor pulls his gun out and waves it around on stage.

I can't get my breath.
