America's gun problem

The gun control debate has hotted up in the U.S. after the Las Vegas massacre.

October 04, 2017 03:40 pm | Updated May 28, 2018 05:29 pm IST

On an average day, 93 Americans die in gun-related violence while 18 of their compatriots succumb to AIDS. The call for regulating access to firearms has been accentuated after the mass shooting at a concert in Las Vegas claimed 59 lives and injured 527, making it the worst such incident in U.S. history.
