But wait. Some say this tragedy can be prevented by reducing the percentage of armed public.
Say its 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 |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. Ronald Reagan |
