Anyone know the ratio of criminals to guns?

I'm betting we have a minimum 50 to 1 gun advantage. Feel safer yet?

Many here have been talking about gun nuts I tried to define the term...no response. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2001713

No one here is talking about the Thugs or gangbangers, probably because of the racial overtones. Police stats indicate that there is where most of the gun violence is coming from.

Some have tried to raise various racial aspects to this...it got them alerted on.

Few if any want to address the reasons for the violence, though many want to ban 150yo tech to solve a modern problem.
