It appears that these studies are overlooked by those in power, those that have the power to do something about this problem. We have known for a long time now that our laws are a big part of the reason we have so many deaths due to firearms, but we have chosen to look the other way, even when other countries like Austria, Australia and South Africa have proof that restrictive laws, that do not take away gun privileges but just remove the ability of their citizens to purchase weapons that are made for war, weapons that are used for killing humans and the ability to purchase those weapons easily without proper background checks as in our internet sales, gun show sales etc are implemented. Every time I look at the situation we have in the U.S. all I can think is GREED is a big factor, the maniacal efforts of a faction that loves seeing the population culled through the use of these weapons are also a big part of it, and citizens that are so afraid of their government and their fellow citizens they refuse to see the havoc that is being wreaked upon our nation by the NRA and these weapons merchants that apparently have little to no conscience when it comes to providing guns for violence in this nation.
