A new study just released suggests that the US is the most heavily armed populace in the world, clocking in at 90 firearms per 100 people. Let that sink in.
Shouldn’t our crime rate be at zero under the theory that more guns makes criminals less likely to attack (since they would be inviting certain death)?
I am reminded of one of my favorite Al Franken stories. Phil Gramm said “I own more guns than I need, but less guns than I want.” To which Franken thought “He and I are very different.”
