The news that Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murder reflects what many in the US already know: that guns in the home increase the likelihood of violence. In the coming days and months we will hear all the sad facts and I predict there will be little else to say. Gun violence is all too prevalent, its carnage predictable. Guns help people kill people.
