In the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, the NRA suggests that we need more guns – put trained guards with guns in all schools – which will make our children safer. If more guns create more safety, and if the United States, with 5% of the world’s population, has 50% of the world’s guns, should we not be the very safest nation in the world? All these guns in the hands of all these responsible, trained people, should be keeping us safe.

But we are not the safest country in the world. Not by a long shot.

Something is wrong with the logic.
