"what IS it about the "journalist" sub-culture that they so seldom own firearms?"

This is the essence of the gun-friendly side of the gun debate. Being gunless doesn't make you part of some ultra-liberal minority sub-group, but gun owners can't imagine anyone living without one. But the fact is most people don't own a gun.

There are 6 million people in Tennessee, right? 300,000 of them have gun permits. Even accounting for (1) people who only own hunting guns and thus don't need a permit and (2) people who own guns illegally and, what the hell, let's throw in (3) antique gun collectors, does anyone really believe the tally will come out to more than 3 million? Really?
