Hold a debate in the Commons about the American gun control system
After the Vegas massacre, The Pulse night club shooting, San Bernardino, and a shooting yesterday in Fort Collins and countless other shootings, a debate is needed in the Commons about Gun control in the USA.
In 2017 in the US, 12,300 deaths have been caused by guns. 3,000 deaths are people who were under 18. There's been 286 mass shootings in the US. These figures don't include 22,000 annual suicides which use guns. If the UK had a similar population to the USA 1,000 UK citizens would die annually in comparison.
