The United States continues to be peculiar in handing out powerful magazine-fed firearms to almost anyone who wants one and not requiring background checks on private purchases even if these are made at gun shows. 80% of civilian-owned firearms world-wide are in the US, and only Yemen vaguely competes with us for rates of firearm ownership; Yemen is a violent mess with Shiite insurgencies, al-Qaeda taking over cities from time to time, tribal feuding, southern separatism and US drone strikes. And even it has fewer guns per person than the USA.
It has gotten to the point where the increasing epidemic of mass shootings now threatens law enforcement, with the deaths of 5 policemen in Dallas at the hands of an unhinged Black ultra-nationalist.
Ko te US he tino tipua ka whakaritea ki te mohio ki Western Europe ranei Ahitereiria (i whakamanahia te mana pu i muri i te puhipuhitanga i te tau 1996, a kare ano he mea penei).
I te tau 2013-2014 (te tekau ma rua marama ka timata i te Maehe), i reira 29 i mate mai i nga hara e pa ana ki te pu in England and Wales (equivalent to 144 because UK is smaller than US).
Te maha o nga kohuru a nga Pu, US, 2014: 8124
Te ōrau of all Murders that were committed by firearms in US: 68%
Whakamomori i US 2013: 41,149
Gun Suicides in US, 2013: 21,175
Te ōrau o nga kohuru katoa i Ingarangi me Wales i mahia mā te pū: 5.4 ōrau.
Tuhinga o mua whakamomori i Ingarangi me Wales, 2011: 4871 (he rite ki te 25,818 i te US, 31% iti iho ranei)
tau o nga whakamomori a firearam i Ingarangi me Wales, 2011: 84
Mo etahi atu korero mo te kohuru ma te pu i Ingarangi, tirohia te BBC.
Ko te US kei a ia te mana pu teitei rawa atu i te ao me te reeti kohuru teitei rawa atu i te ao whakawhanake.
Ko te ahua tino marama ano, he maha nga whakamomori o te US e kore e puta mena kaore nga pu i te waahi katoa.
He hononga kei waenga i nga reiti teitei o te mana pu me te nui o te reiti o te taihara tutu i te nuinga, puta noa i te ao (mehemea hoki ka whakatauritehia e koe nga kawanatanga ma ia kawanatanga i roto i te US):

Mo Ingarangi, ko te kohuru pu wa 53 iti ake i te US mo ia tangata. [Kaua e whakararuraru i nga korero hapa o Switzerland ko Iharaira ranei, ko te nuinga o nga tangata whenua he rite ki nga rahui hoia.]
Kei te tino hiahia nga kaiwhaiwhai ki nga patu whakaeke AR-15 ahua-aunoa? He penei ta ratou huri haere i te wa tia? Ko te Kaore te iwi o Amerika e whakaaro pera.
PS he putanga hou tenei o te pou tawhito; ki te kore ratou e pai ki te whakatakoto ture tika me te haere tonu ki te patu i enei kohuru, ka taea e au te tuhi i tetahi pou rite tonu.

These numbers are almost surreal. 3000 last year, on a pace for 4000 this year.
