Not as funny as the obvious link between the availibility of firearms and its direct link to firearm related crime which we see in evidence in the US year after year after year after year..........
But MUCH funnier than someone pretending that firearms cause crime. But NOT as funny as someone that ignorant of the statistics regarding legal firearm ownership OR as ignorant regarding the greater availability of firearms in the past (you could buy them through mail order when I was a kid)! Hint: increases in crime are due to other social factors, not objects (firearms, swords, poison, knives, bats, etc).
