> How much does gun ownership cost us as tax payers?

I'm generally for the ownership of guns for sane individuals but an interesting thought occurs to me.

How much do we spend on the following:

1. Court costs for cases involving a gun
2. Medical care for victims of gun accidents and crimes
3. Prison costs for those involved in gun crimes

I bet the amount far exceeds that which is spent on food stamps.


So are we all essentially paying welfare so some baggers can "play Rambo"?
