AN UNWANTED HONOR … BUT THE REALITY
The US has far more gun-related killings than any other developed country
Why are there so many shootings?
One piece of this puzzle is the national rate of firearm-related murders, which is noted above. The United States has by far the highest per capita rate of all developed countries. According to data compiled by the United Nations, the United States has four times as many gun-related homicides per capita as do Turkey and Switzerland, which are tied for third. The US gun murder rate is about 20 times the average for all other countries on this chart.
That means that Americans are 20 times as likely to be killed by a gun than is someone from another developed country.

You can see why US has so many unsolved murders…It is easier to investigate less than 50 per year vs the US 9484.

At the moment this is likely the most dangerous result of our unwillingness to get money out of politics. The majority of the funding for the NRA comes from weapon manufactures. Law makers are influenced at least as much by the donation provided by the NRA as by the voting block the claim to represent. I believe I have read that a majority of NRA member would support reasonable gun regulations. I think the boards and executives for the weapon manufactures should be single out and pressured to justify their support the proliferation firearms in the US.
