Guns In America

Guns in America. Lengthy article in the New Yorker.
"In an average year, roughly a hundred thousand Americans are killed or wounded with guns."

Also, reference to book I read past few years. Emphasizes the minimalistic role guns played in our society throughout our history. Things picked up just over the past few decades albeit hunting magazines may have set the process in motion years a decade ago. Under the "Talk" tab can see other views of how this particular Wikipedia entry is being eyeballed by gun enthusiasts.
