  1. The question America has to ask itself is whether it wants to protect its Second Amendment Rights, and ‘A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,’ in the face of a country with less than five percent of the world's population, having nearly half of the world's privately owned guns and making up nearly a third of the world's mass shootings. Personal freedom to protect one’s liberty with a gun, or collective freedom to live relatively free from fear of gun death at the hands of a homicidal maniac?

  2.  @malicant123  Interesting though, that most other comparable nations to the US have no issue with gun laws. America seems hypnotised by its archaic, some would say primitive, 2nd Amendment. It reminds me a bit of these religious zealots who stick to the letter of their original law, come what may. American firearms have moved on from 1791, but the laws to regulate them haven’t; this is why America has this issue.

  4.  @shikag9638  So why do so many other developed nations not have America’s baleful gun culture? Germany, the UK, Japan, for example, don’t seem to have this terrible issue with gun crime, and yet there is relative peace in terms of general society, and certainly mass killings are rare. America needs to seriously look at its Second Amendment. There are only three countries that have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms: Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States. Although Mexico and Guatemala both have a constitutional right to bear arms, the US is in a league of its own simply because it is the only country without restrictions on gun ownership in its constitution. After the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, it inspired other countries around the world to provide their citizens with the right to own guns. However, only 15 constitutions (in nine countries) ever included an explicit right to bear arms. They are Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Liberia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the US. All of those countries, excluding Mexico, the US, and Guatemala, have since rescinded the constitutional right to bear arms. So, America is the outlier here in terms of citizens’ rights to bear arms. Does it want to continue this, and put up with its horrible mass killings? Or does it want to consider repealing the Second Amendment, thereby allowing the average American citizen to breathe that much easier in the ‘land of the free’?

  5.  Matty Kelly  Yeah, but the UK has a homicide rate 4x less than that of the US.

  6.  @malicant123  I repeat, no other comparable countries seem to have an issue with regulating access to arms.
