http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/ff-bullets-gun-violence/A pseudo-technical piece on bullet control. My favorite:
Roughly 10 billion rounds are manufactured in the US each year, with a weight equal to two Titanics. More to the point, it’s enough bullets to pump 32 rounds into every man, woman, and child in America.
Last I read (last week) the US is producing 1 billion "bullets" per week.
Not a particularly convincing argument in my view.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon
