We've managed to keep MuckDonalds, Burger King, KFC out of our town. Unfortunately, we lost against Dominos Pizza & Gloria Jeans Coffee. There are still great little local cafes, hamburger shops & a couple of decent chippies as well as an excellent pizza shop.
Some quick research suggests:- There are around 200 million guns in the US. There are around 140 million vehicles in the US. There are 8300 deaths from shooting. There are 32000 road deaths. Ultimately, a gun is very unlikely to kill someone if it's not near a human, the same goes for a car. (ridiculous circumstances excepted) Guns and cars are not dangerous, PEOPLE are.
