A New Argument Concerning Gun Control

A traditional argument for restrictive gun control is that guns are disproportionately used in murder in the U.S.  There were 48,620 actors in the U.S. as of 2011; there were 132,930,000 workers in the U.S. as of Dec. 2011.  Actors were thus .03% of the American workforce.  Four U.S. presidents have been assassinated, one by an actor.  Actors are therefore grossly disproportionately overrepresented among presidential assassins.  I guess banning actors would make as much sense as restrictive gun control.

Just kidding, but useful next time an actor jumps on the gun control wagon.

  1. Lots of, actors there. I wonder how many make their living acting?

    I remember reading thatthe screen actors guild has 20-25,000 members but only a couple thousand whose primary income is from acting.

    Apparently the guild has a great insurance plan
