Sure, but I'm not saying money is a virtue in of itself. I'm saying countries with more guns tend to be developed countries because the citizens of developed countries tend to have the money to buy guns.

I'm saying "Money buys guns" doesn't show that "guns are good" and "guns = money = development"; its not everything
