Here's a clue, Ulf: I'm not an academic.
However, I'm quite certain all those questions have been analyzed ad nauseum.
The violence continues to spread unchecked. Just why do YOU suppose that
firearms have acquired such a mystique in America that everyone has to own
at least six or seven, including an assault rifle, and a couple of pocket
pistols
to pack when grocery shopping (a slight exaggeration...)?
