Trigger Happy
According to a report from the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, there are 90 guns per 100 citizens in the United States. Worldwide, there are 875 million guns, 270 million of which are in the hands of American citizens.
The report goes on to say that only 225 million of the worldwide supply of firearms are in the hands of law enforcement and military personnel. The remainder are held by private citizens.
And yet, somehow, our high incidents of crime are unconnected to gun ownership. Strange…
