On the 3 December 2015 edition of CNN's Wolf program, Fareed Zakaria touted "the extraordinary ease with which people can obtain these extraordinarily destructive weapons — weapons that you can fire hundreds of rounds — thousands of rounds of ammunition." Zakaria played up that "these stories of gun violence really do...alarm the rest of the world....With gun violence, the United States is essentially alone in the world. There is no other country that has anything remotely approaching the kind of violence we do. The only country that comes even close is Yemen — which is, essentially, a war zone."
