Saving for later reference



"There is no clear correlation whatsoever between gun ownership rate and gun homicide rate. Not within the USA. Not regionally. Not internationally. Not among peaceful societies. Not among violent ones. Gun ownership doesn’t make us safer. It doesn’t make us less safe. The correlation simply isn’t there. It is blatantly not-there. It is so tremendously not-there that the 'not-there-ness' of it alone should be a huge news story."

So, if they did somehow magically get all the US guns, it almost certainly wouldn't matter after the dust settled?  We wouldn't turn into Luxemborg because we are the United States, not Luxemborg.

Yeah, sounds like it.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
