American gun related deaths, 2015.

Uncontrollable American gun epidemic !!

18,508 gun related deaths in the first 7 months of 2015 ! Roughly 2700 deaths every month for a population of 314 million, one fourth of Indian population.

US kills it's own citizens at a rate of 1.2 per million population every month ! Avoidable cruelty to its people ..

US pokes it's ugly nose everywhere bossing around, in the guise of protecting its citizens (0 deaths from terrorist attacks) but cannot check this epidemic and protect its own citizens from this homegrown malaise !
