Such a brilliant observation from an obviously brilliant mind. Let's play with that cosmic equation some, shall we sport?
More knives in society = more knife related deaths.
More cars in society = more car related deaths.
More chemicals in society = more chemical related deaths.
More pools in society = more pool related deaths.
HOLY SHIT! YOU'VE DISCOVERED THE SECRET OF CAUSE AND EFFECT!!!
Pools aren't weapons, cars aren't weapons, chemicals can be used as weapons in missles but I don't see many maniacs committing massacres with chemical weapons not when they can buy assault weapons at gun shows with no background checks, knives can be weapons but it isn't their primary use
I will try this one more time to see if it has any chance whatsoever of penetrating your thick septic skulls.
1987 Hungerford - maniac goes on rampage with military assault weapons - assault weapons are banned.
Number of massacres using military assault weapons in the UK since 1987? - zero.
1996 Dunblane - maniac goes on rampage with handguns - handguns are banned.
Number of massacres using handguns in the UK since 1996? - zero.
Now you were telling me something about cause and effect?

As of today, it is now legal in Indiana to carry a gun into any public place except a courthouse, school or hospital.
GOOD!!
Progress! Congrats to Indiana
This was in the "Politics" section of the Huffington Post today.
Americans love guns.
In an essay published by the Brookings Institution earlier this week, author Matt Bennett digs into some numbers to show just how far the nation's obsession extends in global terms.
When we compare ourselves to other countries (using the latest data, from the 2007 Small Arms Survey), we find that the U.S. has by far the highest rate of private gun ownership in the world: 88 guns per 100 people. (Next on the list is Yemen, at 55 guns per 100.) At the conservative estimate of 270 million guns, Americans have stockpiled almost half of the privately owned firearms in the world.
The 2007 survey may be the latest comprehensive study on global gun ownership, but it's clear that Americans have been buying guns at a rapid pace since then. According to FBI statistics compiled earlier this year, there were around 65.4 million gun purchases during President Barack Obama's first term. That is nearly double the total during former President George W. Bush's first four years in the White House.
While the rate of gun ownership has fallen over the past decades, gun sales have consistently risen, suggesting a concentration of weapons among fewer individuals. Around 62 percent of gun owners report owning more than one gun, though there is no exact data that tracks the number of guns within households.
Any stats on global gun ownership and homicide rates?

I've seen all kinds of stats posted in this thread. Not sure if homicides in comparison to ownership is one of them or available. But, here's a chart of firearm homicides per country.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cou...death_rate
The piece I posted from Huffington Post struck me as odd. It was just sitting there in the "Politics" section today. I read it and wondered, "and...?"
The data is from 2007 and the conclusion that most US gun households own multiple guns is something that we determined using common sense and the old stats (from which we calculated an average per household) way upthread. I think that "conclusion" is pretty common knowledge actually.
So, what was point of the story in the "Politics" section? I guess it's the contention that America has stock piled half of the world guns. I don't think that's far-fetched and wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Maybe it's political news to some, or maybe just an attempt to keep guns in the headlines.

Thanks, doll!
Poor Brazil!
Jamaica has always been my favorite never mentioned country when it comes to gun ownership and homicides.
And their laws, like Brazil's, are soooo lax!
And . . . as usual . . . I believe you're spot-on with your supposition it is an attempt to keep guns in the headlines.

North Carolina today passed expanded concealed carry laws too.
The Republican-backed bill approved by both the House and Senate on Tuesday allows concealed-carry permit holders to take firearms into bars and restaurants and other places where alcohol is served as long as the owner doesn't expressly forbid it.
The measure will also allow concealed-carry permit holders to store weapons in locked cars on the campus of any public school or university. Guns will also now be allowed on greenways, playgrounds and other public recreation areas.
The final bill dropped a controversial provision that would have repealed the long-standing law requiring a background check and permit issued by county sheriffs for handgun purchases.
I'm glad that the "controversial provision" was removed in order for the bill to pass.
There is a little common sense for CCW.
People here went nuts about CCW holders carrying in parks and bars and the like. Why would you want to carry a gun where you might need it?
Police kill 14-year-old fleeing with gun in NYC
A rookie police officer shot and killed a 14-year-old boy on a street early Sunday after he refused to drop his gun and pointed it in the direction of officers, authorities said.
Shaaliver Douse died of a single gunshot to his jaw after the confrontation in the Melrose section of the Bronx.
Two officers with the New York Police Department were on foot patrol when they heard gunfire at around 3 a.m. The officers responded to the scene and found the boy with a 9mm handgun firing shots at a fleeing man, authorities said.
Police released two surveillance videos Sunday evening that show a man they've identified as Douse, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, firing at a group of men standing outside a bodega and then chasing after one of them. Police said Douse fired four shots in all.

They just misunderstood him... he was re-allocating lead in the neighborhood and they gunned him down!

Guns in the hands of sick "people" kill other people, same as sick people killing other people using any other weapon available. See story on crazy SOB below: 
A Hit & run driver accelerated onto LA boardwalk
Posted: Aug 04, 2013 2:06 AM PDT Updated: Aug 04, 2013 5:36 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The driver parked outside a hotel and surveyed the leisurely summer scene at the Venice Beach boardwalk: Hundreds of people were sitting at cafes, walking along the seashore or shopping at vendors selling jewelry or art.
Then, according to surveillance video, the man got into a large black car, steered around a vehicle barrier and accelerated mercilessly through the crowd, hitting one person after another as bystanders tried desperately to get out of the way.
Saturday's hit & run killed an Italian woman on her honeymoon and hurt 11 others who only a moment earlier had been enjoying an afternoon near the beach at the height of vacation season.
The United States has the third highest murder rates in the world. If you remove Chicago, Detroit, New York and New Orleans we are fourth from the bottom.
And those four cities have the toughest gun restrictions in the US.
Liberals and their fear of guns and their belief that even mass murderers should have a nice comfortable life behind bars is what has caused the crime rates.

The kid had a previous firearm-related bust and video/witnesses show that he was in the commission of a crime when he was shot; haven't seen anyone contending that he was an innocent victim on this one.
Bloomberg is using this incident as an example of why stronger national gun laws are necessary.
The gun that the 14 year old was carrying was originally bought at a Kentucky gun show in 1997.

This 9-mm. handgun was found near the body of 14-year-old Shaaliver Douse after he was killed in a deadly shootout with police. The gun's first owner, Brian Quigley, 35, purchased the gun from a Kentucky gun show in 1997, before Douse was even born.
Guns acquired out of state account for 90% of all those confiscated by police in New York, according to Bloomberg.

WTF is it with these black assholes? They have this dead asshole on video, Eye witnessed by 2 cops no doubt GSR on his hands and that stupid gang banger bitch still says the kid didn't have a gun.
Take responsibility for your shit, he is dead because he was an asshole
Take responsibility? Then that kids parents would have to admit their kid was a thug criminal at 14 and its their fault.
