It turns out Orwell’s predictions were frighteningly accurate.

Study: Access To Guns, Not Mental Health, May Be Responsible For Gun Violence

“

They found that the majority of the mental health symptoms examined were not related to gun violence. Instead, they found that people who simply had access to a gun were 18 times more likely to have threatened someone with a firearm compared to people who had no such access.”
