But wait. Some say this tragedy can be prevented by reducing the percentage of armed public.
Say it’s cut in half, from 50,000 to 25,000. This yields 250 potentially violent gunowners, which if 1 percent pull the trigger means 2.5 victims.
This represents an improvement. Unless – as some argue – the presence of fewer guns emboldens the 250 potentially violent citizens with guns, so that they kill more often.
This is an exceptionally simplistic sketch of the issue; I know you can improve on it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
