I hear, most killings by weapons in the USA come from accidents and errors (son playing with father’s rifle and so on) or suicides. That makes the whole thing even sadder (and more senseless). The USA is number one in civilian firearms per capita, and in many parts of the US you need no license and no registration, as is, in contrast, the case for all member states of the EU. The number of homicides by firearms per capita in the USA is 6 times the number of Canada, 15 times the number of Germany and 21 times the number of Australia. So, do weapons protect anything other than the profits of the gunmakers? Seems to me that today it would be wise to change the constitution (amendment) and then take almost all weapons away to protect people. Just imagine how many innocent persons are killed every year now.
