I'd wager that the number of extremely responsible gun owners far outweighs the number of idiots with guns. You'd also be surprised at the large number of people you come across in your daily life that own a gun(s).

About a third of adult Americans own a gun.

Side note: Going to a range and shooting stuff is pretty damn fun!

What about chicks with dozens of tattoos?

If a person has a hobby you don't agree with that makes them an idiot?

One third of Americans own a gun. There should be a hell of a lot more gun mayhem going on on a daily basis across the country if my "assumption" isn't correct.

It's self-evident due to the ridiculously high numbers of gun owners compared to the level of gun-crime.

I was banting with Chula but you can be an idiot with a gun and not shoot someone with it. Doesn't make you an "extremely responsible" gun owner just cos you haven't shot someone.

I wasn't aware driving an unnecessarily large vehicle thats terrible for the environment just because you think it's cool is a legitimate position or hobby. And guns are just a problem waiting to happen.. So yes, in these 2 cases: stupid.

Self-evidence is more mental than gun ownership.

You can't shoot an earthquake, Chula.

And at least 95% of adult Americans are idiots. Mathematically speaking, you can count on every single one of them being an idiot with a gun.
