They say when you are good at something you should stick with it!Note how many people are killed in your articles about chainsaws, hammers, or
just take any 200 home improvement tools combined a year and guess what?
Doesn't even get near 1% of the people killed by gun violence. Also many people like to cite increasing gun sales as a reason for a decrease
in crime. The truth is the number of gun owners in this country has been on a
steady decline for the last couple of decades however gun and ammo sales do
see some spikes that are possibly/likely politically motivated and mostly due
to the NRA doing some very effective fear mongering. The thing is it is not
new gun owners going out to get their FID card and buying guns it is the same
old gun owners just buying more guns and ammo mainly out of blatant paranoia
that somebody is going to stop them from doing so.
