Let's ban cars, and heart problems, then talk about the guns.
Yes, lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Perhaps, since more people lose money and valuables through gambling and on bad picks in the stock market than than they do to burglars, we should arrest casino owners and brokers? Throw into the bunch insurance agents who only take my money and give nothing in return for good measure.
Or maybe, do burglars commit actions unacceptable to society, just as (most of us) find it an unacceptable risk for our children to be shot by an AR-15 while sitting in an algebra class? Maybe the average person accepts the risk of cars, but not of burglars and AR-15s?
