The number of privately owned guns in the US has broken world records
About 10 kilometers west of the shooting in Louisville, a man was shot and killed on Monday. It happened after a shooting at an educational institution in downtown Louisville. The accused is absconding.
Shootings are an almost daily occurrence in America. According to sources, nearly a third of the population, more than 100 million people, openly own a firearm.
But according to estimates, there are 120 privately owned firearms per 100 residents in the United States. That would be a world record.
