There's an estimated 433.9 million guns in civilian hands on America and it's incredibly easy to get a gun in America. More than half of Americans support more gun control but repeatedly the rights of gun sellers trump the rights of everyone.

If the article is correct, no gun control would have stopped this guy:

"Court records show Garner has no previous criminal record in Oregon, only a speeding and parking ticket and driving while using a cellphone."

I wasn't trying to make an argument about this incident in particular just the issue of guns in America generally. I should have made that clearer.
