The issue of gun violence in US is aggravating day by day. There are about 310 million guns in the country. About 40% of households possess guns in US.
Meanwhile, the overall number of guns has increased to about one gun per person, up from one gun for every two persons in the 1960s.
This means that gun ownership has got more concentrated among fewer households.
America has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world.
Experts widely believe this is the consequence of America's relaxed laws and culture surrounding guns.
