Justin links to this story in which the UN claims America has nearly one gun for every American. And the problem is? Money shot:
“This is enough guns to perpetuate fighting in many countries and raise the danger of criminal violence in many others, but it is not enough to render the situation totally beyond hope,” the survey said.
And
“Contrary to the common assumption that Europeans are virtually unarmed, the 15 countries of the European Union have an estimated 84 million firearms. Of that 67 million (80 percent) are in civilian hands,” the survey said. With a total population of 375 million people, this amounts to 17.4 guns for every 100 people.
Also, Justin tells that the PFC Lynch story is problematic because he’s unaware of any military issued revolvers.
