The Walking Dead: 10 Giant Plot-Holes You Probably Missed
8. Guns Shouldnt Be That Difficult To Find, Especially In America
One of the show's favourite tropes is conveniently running out of ammunition just as a big zombie horde descends on the main characters. It makes some sense; the world has gone to hell, resources are low, and bullets are getting rarer everyday so it's best to save them. Running out of ammo is plausible in a post-apocalyptic world, but not for quite some time. In fact, guns and ammo shouldn't be that difficult to find, especially in America where the show is set. According to recent statistics, America has the highest gun ownership per capita in the world with over 110 guns per 100 residents. That's right, American literally has more guns than it has people. So realistically, if the world was suddenly gripped by a zombie apocalypse, everyone in America should be more than ready to fight back. In fact, seeing as how zombies can't exactly use guns, there will be even more guns available for the survivors, so there really is no reason to risk getting bitten by going head-to-head against zombies with your fists. But then again, there is something thrilling about seeing a zombie's head getting bludgeoned when compared to a simple bullet to the head.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
