    If the US had the gun death rate of the UK, only 727 people would die from guns per year http://www.vox.com/2015/10/3/9443917/united-states-gun-death-europe …pic.twitter.com/EDGZXU2dba

        @dylanmatt do you think a cash-for-guns program would be effective at curbing deaths? Or an outright ban?
