Also, you forget to mention that 99.9% of kids who bring a gun to school, DONT USE IT. Theres an average of 1, maybe 2 school shootings in the U.S. per year (none for over a year).
What does how many guns we sell/buy have to do with how easy it is to get one from your house and bring it to your friend's house? I dont see the connection
Also, the figure about how many houses have guns- You didn't cancel out the percentage of those guns left unlocked with how many of those houses have children in them. The unlocking the gun thing may seem stupid, but people do it for self-defence. In an emergency, you don't have time to unlock your gun. I dont have one, and I am for locking up guns, but Im explaining the thinking behind it.
You've probably heard this before-- Guns dont kill people, people kill people.
