My favorite statistic that people can't seem to "jive" with their fantasy is that gun ownership in the USA has been declining over the last 30 years. At least when measured on a per house basis. Gun sales are up, but that's because more folks that do own guns, own more of them, but actual number of people that own guns appears to be declining, and certainly the culture that permits and accepts guns (and trains kids in their use) has been declining steadily...

AND YET we have an marked uptick in violence only in the last ~15 years.
Riddle me that one. Please.

Without fail... crickets is all I get.
Might just be time to find a different scapegoat, it clearly isn't the guns!
