Owning a gun is easier than owning a dog in some US states. In Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were slaughtered in the worst massacre since Sandy Hook, a barber needs a permit for scissors but not for a firearm.
A nation of 335 million people owns 400 million guns, and more young people die in shootings than car accidents.
The American gun lobby says guns don’t kill people – people kill people.
