Ron Lora: Gun regulation in America Ron Lora - Guest Columnist The Supreme Court will hear a major gun-rights case, possibly in the fall. At issue is the scope of the Second Amendment, more precisely whether Americans have a right to carry a loaded handgun in public. I will not prejudge how the Court will rule, although at the moment there is a sense that the right to carry guns outside the home will be broadened. With only 4.3 percent of the world’s population, the United States has nearly 40 percent of the world’s non-military guns, well over one per person. According to the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, only Brazil suffers a larger number of people killed by guns each year than the United States, the comparable 2017 figures being 48,493 and 40,229. Each day in the U.S., on average, over 100 people die from guns. The figures reflect nothing less than a public health crisis that we have come to live with.
