More goofiness!

Neal Boortz has had a statistician friend work the problem and has determined that to save ONE life requires buying back over 26,000 guns!

Then, nobody ever said the people who do come up with these goofy buy-backs were smart.

And, what the hell, they’re not spending THEIR money!

I suppose someone just divided the number of homicides into the number of guns. Unfortunately it is not that simple.

The truth is that if 26,000 guns were turned in there would probably be several more people die from crime because they were unarmed. The idea that turning in guns would keep any criminal from possesing one is nuts.
