5. Your "facts" would be relevant IF more househods owned guns

Apr 2013

but gun ownership/household is down. Fewer owners with more guns.

It's a case of the gun lobby exploiting tragedies like Sandy Hook to scare the simpleminded into purchasing their product.

Who needs 15 AR15s? Not a collector's item, not good for hunting compared to much less expensive, more effective rifles and not worth a damn for home defense. Yet here in Texas I know of more than one. A friend missed a house payment to pay $1200 for an AR that a month earlier sold for $599.

Nope, just a bunch of easily duped paranoids susceptible to the gun lobby fear mongering.
