And yet again with the logic of insanity.
Look Helio... the U.S. already has the most firearms per household than any other developed nation on earth while also being nearly the most gun-violent developed nation on earth. How, exactly, did you imagine that having even MORE guns than already having the MOST was going to reverse that???
The logic escapes me.
It certainly hasn't worked
within the United States.
'Pro-Gun' States Lead the Nation in Per Capita Firearm Death Rates

"At the regional level, we found a positive and statistically significant relationship between rates of household gun ownership and homicide victimization for the entire population, for victims aged 5 to 14 years, and for victims 35 years and older (Table 1 [triangle]). These results were attributed primarily to higher gun-related homicide rates in regions with higher rates of firearm ownership; non–gun-related homicide rates were also elevated in regions where there were more guns, but to a lesser extent."--
