More gunstores than McDonalds.

Interesting statistic. But meaningful? Why would you compare an entire industry (gun sales) against a portion of another industry?

Wouldn't these comparisons make more sense?

Retail outlets

Deaths

It's fine to have opinions on gun control. But supporting opinions with apples and oranges statistics makes it appear like advocates have to make stuff up rather than using valid data.
