Community Challenge:

Gotta go with A on this one. Feels like the kind of stat they love to splash around the news to make us all nervous. B just screams “made up by someone’s cousin who took one self-defense class.” C made me laugh—if pepper spray passed up firearms, my radio’d pick up the sound of the country fainting. Which one fooled you folks?
