The sad state of US gun violence, explained in 7 minutes

One of the video's main points:

It's not that America has much more crime. It's that crime in the US is much more lethal.

Similar to a sentiment I tweeted out a few months ago:

Easy access to guns turns bad moods, bad politics, bad religion, bad brain chemistry, and bad ideas into murder.
