Re: 310 MILLION GUNS in the hands of American civilians!
It is not only the USA that are gun mad. When I was in Brazil a local police sargent emptied his pistol before proudly show and handing it to me to see. He claimed he had shot 3 people dead recently (drugs and mafia no doubt) and had no qualms about doing it.14-12-2015, 08:38 AM

Yes but that is because the Brazilians are influenced by the American example. they've seen it on their television night after night for the past 2 - 3 decades,- the 'gung ho' American police/detective series blasting away at anything and everything that moves.

Note that owning a gun does not mean you need to fire it and if you do fire it, you don't have to fire it at someone. The sight of a gun is a bug deterrent for many people and seeing one fire live ammo at say a wall is equally convincing.
The countries which have nuclear capability don't use it, it simply exists as a deterrent.
