The Weird Thing That Happened As Firearms Sales Surged

From The Motley Fool:

The Weird Thing That Happened As Firearms Sales Surged

Subheadline:
More guns are being sold than ever, but it's not making the country more dangerous. In fact, just the opposite.
The article ends with this nugget:
Even with the uptick in violent crime that's been recorded recently, lawful gun owners remain concerned with safety, which explains why despite soaring gun sales, few people are actually accidentally injured by them. Crimes committed with guns will always be a problem, but the declining rates of commission using firearms of any kind suggests the proliferation of guns may be having a deterrent effect.

The Motley Fool...basically a website dedicated to the facts for investors. I think they are just saying what the facts point out.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

Gun control is racist.
