Let us hope they have gotten the message and will make the change.

In a recent series of articles, Bloomberg journalists detail how firearms companies are "fueling violence across the world" through sales to other countries. While the articles certainly attempt to frame gun ownership in other countries as the cause of violence, two key points are left out.

a question that must be posed in the face of this reporting is why Bloomberg fears an American-style gun culture in other countries.

An American style of gun ownership allows citizens to defend themselves without reliance on government entities like the police or military. It will enable citizens to be truly independent. For a billionaire like Michael Bloomberg, who can afford private security 24/7, this can be hard to understand. Still, for someone living in a Brazilian favela or a cartel-controlled territory in Mexico, firearm ownership could be the determining factor between life and death.
