@singernews @TrevorHughes our armed society has about 90 firearms per 100 ppl. if we're talking about theater shootings, how 'polite' is it?
Excellent, thought-provoking piece from @TrevorHughes . Should he buy a gun to feel safe in theaters ? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/27/voices-guns-movies/30733619/ …

@morfaleji@singernews those stats mislead because ownership is concentrated, not widely dispersed. Fewer owners, multiple guns. -
@TrevorHughes hold on a sec. 1) even with concentration, u.s. gun numbers= largest in the world *by far* http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/08/28/us-world-firearms-idusl2834893820070828 …@singernews -
@TrevorHughes 2) so, for 'polite society,' we would need to disperse those weapons? not sure that tracks@singernewspic.twitter.com/AnqzfJS746

@morfaleji@singernews that's why the "polite society" is an intellectual exercise only (to me). Because deaths would probably go up first. -
@TrevorHughes@morfaleji I can't decide whether our problem is the proliferation of guns or the proliferation of bats**t crazy. -
@singernews@TrevorHughes as one of my college mentors might say: "yes!" ...but their intersection (writ large) is the addressable issue imo
