Interesting read, for sure.

But I´m afraid I can´t really understand why it´s such a big topic in the US. OK, I´m not familiar with carrying guns in public, maybe that´s the reason. And I have to admit if I had a gun and would be a victim, I´d use it to protect my family and my property.

"Economists are familiar with the cliché "lies, damned lies and statistics," which puts statistics at the top of the pyramid of lies. ESPN sports radio personality Colin Cowherd, on the other hand, insists, "People lie, the numbers don't." (Morgan O. Reynolds)
