We look to statistics for reassurance in these types of case. Here is one: 100 percent of mass shootings have been enabled by access to guns.

Rather, each gene was selected because it prospered in its environment, and its environment necessarily included the other genes which were simultaneously prospering in the gene-pool. Genes with complementary 'skills' prosper in each others' presence.
