"Awash with guns" indeed. What poppycock -- and such persistent

Well, if not "awash," what the hell do you call a society of 300 million
people and 250 million guns? Askew? g

Not "awash" if their existance isn't evident in daily life.

We're "awash" in automobiles. One can't go outside the house without
seeing dozens to thousands of 'em. How many guns do you see each day?
How many do or did your children see aside from on TV?

Yeah, we take care of them once they've shot somebody. Otherwise, your post
shall go unmolested by my wisecracks. d8-)

We don't always take care of them once they've shot somebody. If we
did there would be no repeat offenders. In any case, how many folks
have you personally known that have ever been shot at, aside from
military or law enforcement? How about folks injured or killed by
other causes?
