...about the same thing. Must be the Missouri Buy a Gun Day celebrations. And now, for everyone's favorite commentator: By Debbie Schlussel <http://www.debbieschlussel.com> The Small <http://www.smallarmssurvey.org/files/sas/publications/year_b_pdf/2007/2007S AS_English_press_kit/2007SAS_About_the_Survey_en.pdf> Arms Survey--an annual Geneva, <http://www.smallarmssurvey.org> Switzerland-based study about guns in circulation--backs up Second Amendment advocates (like me). It shows that more gun ownership correlates with lower crime rates in a country. The study reports that civilians across the globe own 650 million small arms, 75% of all guns in circulation. While Americans have the highest percentage and number of guns per capita (270 million--or 9 guns for every ten Americans), that's a good thing. Keith Krause, director of the Small Arms Survey, cited <http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/2007/08/28/guns_0829.html> low gun ownership and high crime rates in Latin American countries as dispelling the myth that guns and high crime rates/violence go together. "There's no clear relationship between more guns and higher levels of violence," Krause said . . . . He said studies had shown that gun violence often occurred in places undergoing rapid urban growth. Exactly.
