I've met some people who really should not have guns...

Most people I've met really should not have guns. And don't, as far as I know.

Even in America, the vast majority of people don't own a gun. Something like 70%.

Still, only the US has an annual toddler/dog gun killing rate (as in the toddler/dog shooting somebody else).

Also 44% of Americans live in a household where a gun is present.

Both those statements track, more or less, since the guns are usually owned by one person in the house.

and yet, there are 120 guns for every 100 people. pehaps on loan from the gun library? Donde esta la bibioteca di boom boom?
