Rights reports expose US' own faults

Gun control impossible

United States citizens own the largest number of private guns in the world. Last year, 31 percent of the US population owned more than 357 million guns, according to US media reports. Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot, accidentally killed or commit suicides with guns, and over 200,000 people are wounded in shootings.

Frequent gun-related violence threatens public security and seriously infringes on people's right to life in the US. Despite this, the US Supreme Court still refuses to tighten gun-ownership laws.
