There are somewhere around 200-, 250-, and 300-million guns in the US, depending on who/what you read.

Here's a pic graph of the distribution of guns in the US, by State.

But sometimes it's hard to get a visual image of large numbers, like how many is 250 million ?

It turns out there are about 250,000,000 automobiles currently registered in the US.
So for every car you see, there's a gun out there.

I was just thinking about that movie the other day and wondered if my nieces would like it. I always liked it a lot.

Did you see Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey? It's basically the exact same movie. I didn't realize it until this weekend when I saw Adventures again.

Adventures is still good. But it has some swearing and teenage boys talking about sex. One of the running gags is that Elizabeth Shue is a dead ringer for that month's Playboy Playmate. I think kids today have never heard of Playboy. Magazines are so 1980s. So you might be explaining what that fold out page is.

On that chart, is Louisiana the only one with over 20 deaths/100 grand people? Maybe Nevada too but it's hard to tell with the lines.

Louisiana is SCARY. Geez Louise, you're the shootinest tootinest state East of the Pecos.

HA!

Yeah, we're all packin' down here.

For example: lil old ladies (to keep from gettin' mutilated) got holdouts tucked into dainty handbags (along with used tissues, heart medications, and pocket rockets).

I read "tootinest" as "toothless", which is also appropriate.

Teeth? We don' need no stinkin' teeth!

Here, in Looseeanna: we're all fat, stupid, drunk, and toothless.

The truth is: the above is not terribly off the mark.

In my work, I get about (far and wide)...really: there are a god-awful number of fat, stupid, drunk, and toothless folks in this state (not so much in the north, but, in the south: overflowing).

Me: scrawny, sober, and toothed (stupid: debatable).

What in Sam Hill is a pocket rocket?

They also have those foldy uppy little plastic rain hats, that are about the size of a matchbook 'til you unfold them. Magic!

That's actually pretty good. My only complaint is that they don't have my beer.
