In 2009, 31,347 Americans were killed by guns. In the UK 39. You can google "gun control" and get all kinds of similar data. All assault weapons are illegal in the UK. The assault weapons Ban Act of 1994 was not renewed in 2004---thanks largely to the NRA. The NRA sort of reminds me of some Labor Unions that some place in time have lost their way and no longer seem to have a common sense approach to today's issues and problems. Hopefully, some common sense gun control will come out of the Newtown massive murder of our innocent children.
