From The Washington Post:
The survey's findings support other research showing that as overall rates of gun ownership has declined, the number of firearms in circulation has skyrocketed. The implication is that there are more guns in fewer hands than ever before. The top 3 percent of American adults own, on average, 17 guns apiece, according to the survey's estimates.
Interesting. Lawyers, guns, and money! Which of these has the smallest percentage and largest absolute amount? Of course, the other major shift the survey reveals is in the rationale for owning firearms: currently, a majority of owners cite personal protection as their motivation, prior to the 1990's the majority owned guns for sport.

Possessing the Anarchist's Cookbook will be a crime in this new Fahrenheit 451 future :)
Something called Inspire Magazine will also be forbidden, if California's Democratic senator has her way. The Anarchist's Cookbook is doubleplus crimethink, she's been saying since at least 1996.

Thanks for that. I'll send her a signed copy along with my thoughts on encryption, security, and the absolute inviolable rights to privacy.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
