No wonder I'm always tired...

According to that report from the pinkos in Geneva, I'm carrying the load for 118 people.

Between me and a half dozen friends, we're probably picking up the slack for a whole Manhattan high-rise.

I'm carrying the load for almost 27 others. A slacker by comparison, it seems.; 11:27 AM, August 29, 2007

Anonymous said...: I feel like such a slacker. I'm only carrying 15 or so other people. And that's only if you count an Enfield No4Mk2 that's not safe to fire. (You *can* fire it, but I don't.); 11:36 AM, August 29, 2007

If we don't count Mosins, I'm still picking up the load for 111 people. ;); 12:04 PM, August 29, 2007

Tam said...: Okay, color me officially impressed.

You are a gun nut.

(Which makes it easier for me to rationalize future purchases: "Hey, at least I'm not completely out of control like that 7.62 guy..." :)); 12:19 PM, August 29, 2007

The Duck said...: I guess I'm only carrying for about 60, it's been a while since I counted them.
Been kinda of focused on ammo

Helplessness should be expensive.

( do I get extra credit for the Lahti, or does that count as one "firearm"? ); 1:43 PM, August 29, 2007

I have plans to double or triple that next year. I don't own any long gun! (Yet.); 2:10 PM, August 29, 2007
Paha Kani said...: I calculated the correlation between the number of guns per 100 persons and the number of homicides per 100 000 persons, using the data from the survey. Assuming an exponential correlation, we'd get to zero homicides at just over 11 000 guns per 100 persons.
You can see the graphs at our blog . Sorry, it's in Finnish but you can look at the pretty pictures.; 2:12 PM, August 29, 2007
