5 Facts

Hellow, just uploaded some pictures, so now i better get to the homework ^^

• Different estimates suggest that there are between 192 million and 250 million guns in the USA. Of these, 65 million are handguns.

Omg! between 192 and 250 MILLIONS?! That's crazy! I think it shows how many Americans that actually own a gun. Wow...

• There were, on average, more than 30,000 deaths from gun violence each year during the 1990s.

30,000 deaths every year. The number seems SO high when you hear it, but when you think about it, it's only a small part of all the americans dying every year.

• During the whole of the 20th century, the federal government enacted only eight laws regulating firearms nationwide.

Only eight laws to make sure that everybody's more secure? That is not very much..

• An African American male under 30 years old was nearly nine times more likely to be murdered than a white male in the same age group.

Wow, that's.. Wow. I think that the numbers are like they are, maybe because of racism.

• In 1998, women were 100 times more likely to be murdered with a handgun than use a handgun to kill in self defence.

Now that makes sence to me. Of couse womens are more scared of guns, it's a man thing. I think I would have the same odds, because I would be to scared both of the robber (or what it would be) and of the gun to even think of using it.

That was the homework :D

BWAAAY! :D
