Come on people!! Let's make it an even 100/100! Go buy some guns! Yemen is catching up with a promising 60 guns per 100 people. We may be at the bottom in terms of education, but when you are armed to the teeth, who is going to tell you you're wrong about anything? Fuck Yea!

That number is a little misleading though. Here is some stuff taken from a very good political site. He was writing about this recent shooting put up some numbers.

Here is the full articles.

This graph shows that only about 35% of American households actually have a gun.


What this means that most people don't have guns, but those who do have a lot of them.

I can give you a personal example. If I listed 10 friends that I know that four of them own guns. I personally own 1. Another friend of mine owns 2. But the other two each have about 10 guns each and are talking about buying more.

So you could easily say that out of these 10 people there are 23 guns or 2.3 guns per person when in reality 6 of them have nothing and the other two clearly have small penises.
