I'm going to say that's a poor point to make due to the absolutely insane increase in gun sales / gun manufacturing. The amount of guns manufactured skyrocketed from 3 million in 1985 to 11 million in 2013. The latest research says there are almost 400 MILLION firearms throughout the U.S. (both legally and illegally owned.) I don't have numbers from the 1950s to compare to, but... I have a suspicion it's less lol.
Oddly - there is far less murder.
Think not?
Google "murder rate in us per capita since 1900"
Despite there being far more guns - there are less murders.... Close to half.
And 1/6th since the country began
