Tomatoes and Guns

Robb Allen has an excellent post on the perils of common wisdom and why guns are like tomatoes.

A little taste:

Interestingly enough, we have plenty of proof that allowing the law abiding to carry firearms into places that serve alcohol simply does not result in daily drunken shootouts. However, there appear to still be plenty of people who think that, despite the MASSIVE evidence to the contrary, that these tomatoes are still poisonous.
