During the year 2011, the United Kingdom suffered 39 gun homicides. What was that number for USA? For a starter, America has five times the population of the UK. 39 x 5 = 195, that is what the number would be if USA had the same gun homicide rate per capita of the population as the UK. But America's gun homicide rate is much, much higher: over 11,000 gun homicides during 2011. After five and a half years, Americans surpass the total U.S. death count for the Vietnam War (58,000) shooting each other (and the Vietnam War was 16 years long). Americans today are three times as likely to be shot in good ol' USA than a drafted American soldier was likely to be shot in Vietnam. Understanding why we as a nation seldom blink an eye at the sacrifice of so many Americans' lives on behalf of our long-cherished 2nd Amendment culture is timely.
