Does That Come with a Free Case of Bullets?

Heard this on the radio on the way into work this morning, then saw it on Boortz: U.S. most armed country. According to the survey, U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, or 90 guns for every 100 citizens. I guess that means with my 3, 2 rifles and 12 gauge, I account for 2.7 people. Anyway, it would be interesting to see how many of those guns are used for recreation and protection vs. crime.

Speaking of crime, today is the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and murders have doubled in New Orleans. After all the hoopla over how the President and FEMA "botched" the situation and all the resources and money donated to rebuild, crime is still a problem. With the revolving-door justice system today, where the innocent are punished, it shouldn't be surprising.

So shoot on with your arsenal, whether it's clay pigeons, real pigeons, or someone with something that you want, they all seem to be same thing in the eyes in the law.
