I would say an emphatic yes. I think it is being reported that he had 13
weapons - half at the campus and the rest at his home. The statistics being shown are horrifying - one gun per person in the US
and more than one mass shooting per day so far in 2015 (where mass shooting
is 4 deaths or more). I was surprised to see that in Australia there is one
gun for every 10 people, but I expect that would be due to higher rates in
rural areas. We have a shotgun here on the farm, but if we lived in the
city, there'd be no need.Not sure what the answer is. Australia had it's own shooting yesterday - a
radicalised 15 year old middle eastern boy shot a policeman in Parramatta
(NSW). Worrying times.
