The United States of Guns

Great collection of links and quotes on gun control and the United States. They’re all great, all worth reading (or re-reading), but none sum it up better than The Onion: “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens:

At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

Gun control legislation works — if by “works” you’re concerned with reducing deaths and injuries by homicide, accident, and suicide.
