The number of gun-related deaths in a country is correlated to the number of guns per 100 people. This correlation holds even if the United States is removed from the data. Correlation does not always = causation. But research that is finally being conducted (20 year delay thanks to the Dickey Amendment), consistently shows that the # of guns is the problem.

I know correlation does not equal causation. However, where the US lies on this graph of number of firearms vs. number of mass shooters is pretty striking. More evidence that our problem is because of the guns. #
