So this can actually mean they're underrepresented from 30's-70's, but it can also mean it's subjective. It's not perfect.



When comparing countries with mass shootings, the trend is more guns means more mass shootings. Even with the US and it's disproportional gun ownership removed from the data, it means more mass shootings when you own more guns. Same with all gun related crimes, as you said.

But, yea, this is a constitutionally protected right. We can't remove guns. 

See, I agree with this.  I am pro gun, but hardly a gun nut.  I have a long range 30-06 rifle, a 12 gauge pump, a .22 rifle, and no longer have a pistol, although I will purchase another one.  IF we ever got into a survival situation, I can use a combination of all of these to hunt game, and protect my family.  I personally don't see the need in automatic and rapid fire semi-automatic weapons with ridiculous magazines.  Those types of weapons help facilitate the ease of shootings like these.  There absolutely needs to be better communication regarding any mental issues and past violent crimes and the purchasing of firearms.  I don't see how these people slip through the cracks, to be honest.  I purchased my last gun two years ago, I waited 10 days before I could go pick it up.
