“Maine killings prompt spike in gun purchases”
Apparently the only solution America has for its gun problem is more guns.

  @samlitzinger This "arming yourself will keep you safer" theory was totally disproven many years ago when Miami FL because fraught with murders and violent crime..(I mean like 30 yrs ago) and the article a year later always stuck with me....they did a study and after citizens armed themselves the murder rate for domestic disturbances and murders among family members and close circle increased significantly. It has NO effect on stopping other crimes.
