America has 90 guns per 100 people

An interesting story, but I think it fails to take into account some other factors, like quality of life and levels of crime, etc...

Too bad it's the liberal cities where guns are banned that most of the crime in this country occurs. Maybe they should learn a thing or two about 2nd ammendment rights rather than allowing only criminals illegal access to them, making law-abiding citizens easy victims.

The London Times recently reported crime has doubled in England since gun ownership was limited in the 1980s.

 

Damnit, that's a 10 gun shortage. What is being done?

 

Learning a thing or two about the 2nd Amendment might actually require some effort and god forbid, common sense, but that might not be possible because:

 

The increase in crime in England - like the decrease in crime in New York - correlates much better with lead exposure in children than with gun laws or gun ownership.

 

I was thinking the same thing!

 

Yeah, sounds like a major national security crisis here.

Oh, don't worry, me and my friends have that shortage well covered.

does that include hunting rifles or just handguns?

 

I'm assuming that they mean "guns" ...as in anything that shoots bullets or pellets out the end of the barrel using explosive cartridges.

well, that will definitely make it seem worse than what it is. There are lots and lots of hunters here. And hunters usually guy rifles for their kids.
Hell growing up, my dad had 3, my brothers each had one and my sister had one.

 

I have a couple of friends who could go out shooting every day of the year, and not use the same gun twice! And I'm not too far from that, either, except some of mine are black powder muzzleloaders.

I used to go out back and target practice until the neighbors one day told me to stop killing off their children. Those kids sure could duck and slide great!

One of my fondest memories growing up was watching my dad make bullets. Melting the lead, pouring it into the mold, putting everything together...
