2017 / ISSUE 103 5 NEWS The reason for this act is still unknown, police suspect that he acted alone, and have not found any links to political organisations. So far 23 guns have been discovered in his hotel room (as well as much more in his residence). Amongst these were handguns, as well as semi-automatic rifles with bumper- stocks and scopes. Bumper-stocks are used to turn a semi-automatic, into a fully-automatic rifle. With an upper limit of 800 rounds a minute, it could be reasoned that he brought so many weapons in order to save on the reloading time, by switching out weapons instead. However, despite the fear-mongering that happens in the US, between 1987 and July 2017, white people are still responsible for most mass shootings. In fact, white people have committed 50 acts of mass shootings, in comparison to 40 by all other races. In 2016 there was a pretty conclusive study published in the Epidemiologic Review, showing that increased gun control reduces gun-related violence and homicide. Researcher Santaella-Tenorio (known for his work on firearm legalisation) looked at different countries introducing new packaged gun laws. Packaged gun laws consisted of the restriction of dangerous weapons such as automatic rifles, the implementation of background checks, as well as needing to have permits before purchasing guns. Using these packaged gun laws Australia, Austria & South Africa, saw a sharp decrease in gun-related homicide the years following these laws. On the other hand, when the American state Missouri repealed existing gun laws in 2007, the homicide rate jumped by 25%. Our thoughts go out to those affected by this horrendous act, whether due to the act of violence or the systematic failure of the government.
