@pschwede Thats an even bigger leap. We have had legal guns for a long time in america and the ownership rate does not indicate a tendency towards 100%. Rates go bth up and down. Nor do we see the explosiveness you suggest when numbers suurge upwards. In fact the explosions we see tend to focus around locations with unusually high restrictions or controls around guns. The primary example being how most mass shootings tend to happen in gun free zones.
