The number of weapons in the United States exceeded the population of

Количество оружия в США превысило численность населения

In recent years, the use of firearms among the civilian population in the United States became commonplace. Mass killings happen almost every day. Not surprisingly, Barack Obama is expressing condolences to the relatives of victims of the terrorist attacks in Europe, jumped sharply with the topic and with a grin he began to speak absolutely about other things not related to the tragedy.

My condolences to the American President has brought to its citizens repeatedly, however, any changes in the Constitution on the issue of legalization of weapons, and has not been made. Moreover, he not even had the promised reform in law enforcement. All were in their places.

USA today ranks first in the export of arms in the world. It is no secret that the real power in this country have corporations, with their supply of weapons magnates continue to supply firearms to civilians and armies of other countries. The manufacture of pistols and machine guns in the United States grows with inexorable speed. Statistics show that in 2009 the U.S. produced about 5.6 million units, and in 2014 this figure had grown to 11, 9 million today in America there are 357 million firearms. This figure is 40 million higher than the number of the population. It should be noted that this was only a weapon, and how many illegal units goes country?!

The results of such a policy is extremely sad. For example, yesterday the police Department of Miami reported that two people died in a shooting in one of the districts of the city. Also shot and wounded a child, but he was still alive. In Texas the same day killed another 4 people from gunshot wounds. The attacker killed himself. A week ago a man in Florida opened fire on teenagers playing Pokemon Go. What do these people have in mind?! They use the weapon is clearly not intended.

On the news about the shooting in public places in the United States, to the detriment of the citizens of this country, the issue of limiting the circulation of firearms in the States is particularly acute. However, Washington does not hurry up to solve this problem, because the weapon is money, and they are above human life, which is extremely unfortunate.
