"consisting of approximately 171 million handguns, 146 million rifles, and 98 million shotguns." There are also estimates of AR-15 ownership and ownership of magazines that hold over 10 rounds (which some state laws classify as "large-capacity").
Ok, who’s the slacker?
"Americans Own Over 415 Million Firearms,"
There's a new survey aimed at determining patterns of gun ownership and defensive gun use, from Prof. William English at…reason.com
Yeah if guns caused violent crime we should all be dead by now because there are about 100 million more guns than people in America.
But wait we aren't all dead, so that must mean guns don't make people kill other people. Seems like almost all of the gun deaths in America are caused by criminals.
Switzerland had a amazingly high amount of gun ownership but still has about the lowest gun related crime in Europe. Why? Oh that's right. They don't tolerate criminals there, they keep their border closed and it's hard to become a citizen, they have high employment rates, high education standards, good healthcare and their society all speak the same language and look similar and have the same customs so no one feels uneasy around strangers.
