Umpqua Community College shooting

In light of the Oregon shooting, October 1, 2015, that left 10 people dead, we have updated this story from 2014. It remains our most popular piece.

Whenever a mass shooting occurs, a debate about gun violence ensues. An often-cited counter to the point about the United States’ high rates of gun homicides is that people in other countries kill one another at the same rate using different types of weapons. It’s not true.

Compared to other countries, the United States has exceptional homicide rates, and it’s driven by gun violence.

The U.S. has higher rates of homicides from guns than Pakistan. At 4.5 deaths per 100,000 people, the U.S. rates aren’t much lower than gun homicide rates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (5.2 deaths per 100,000 people).

Annually, the U.S. has about two fewer gun homicide deaths per 100,000 people than Iraq, which has 6.5 deaths per 100,000.

STUFF HAPPENS

Jeb Bush Says ‘Stuff Happens‘ In Response to Gun Violence

While speaking to reporters during a campaign stop in Greenville, South Carolina, on Friday, Jeb Bush weighed in on the latest school shooting to take place in the United States, this time in Oregon, just a day before.

Presidential candidate Jeb Bush made an eyebrow-raising comment in the wake of the Oregon school massacre — saying “stuff happens” in response to a discussion about gun violence.

Bush called the shooting in Oregon “heartbreaking,” and said he also had challenges that he faced during his tenure as governor of Florida.

“Look, stuff happens, there’s always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something and it’s not always the right thing to do,” Bush said at the Conservative Leadership Project in Greenville, South Carolina, referring to taking away rights.

A gunman opened fire on the campus of Umpqua Community College Thursday, October 1, killing 9 people and wounding seven others. He later died in a gun battle with police.

The astonishingly callous summation of Thursday’s deadly rampage that killed 10 people and injured seven others was buffered by Bush’s criticism against renewed calls for gun control.
