11,004 Gun Murders in US vs. 26 (equiv. 130) in England Annually

11,004 Gun Murders in US vs. 26 (equiv. 130) in England Annually: A lot of smoke is being generated to cover up the fact that the horrific Florida school shooting that has left at least 17 dead results from a virtual absence of meaningful gun controls in the US, such that a few gun manufacturers are allowed to make powerful military-style weapons available to the homocidally insane and to gangbangers etc. The Las Vegas shooter, whom the US press has buried long ago, was not an immigrant. | By Juan Cole
