Need More

AN ESTIMATED 875m small arms are in circulation worldwide: one for every seven people on the planet. Nearly three-quarters of these are owned by civilians. . . . . Although America accounts for 40% of firearms in civilian ownership, people put them to more deadly use elsewhere.

The anti-liberty, anti-gun people in this country always claim that their position is based on rampant gun crime. Huh! Their position is simply not sustained by anything resembling fact.

If this study is correct, there are 270,000,000 fireamrs owned by civilians in the U.S.. That's 9 guns for every 10 people. Since I'm not the only citizen that owns several guns, there's a lot more than 10% of the population that's gunless. I find that unacceptable. EVERYONE should have at least a .22. In my idealized world there would be more guns than people. Makes sense to me.
