You can twist statistics to say anything you want as you have just proven. Don't you dare even start on lawyers. Get off your damn computer and get your facts straight.
    Well, educate us then. What ARE the facts, as you see them? See, I am one of those "jerks with a gun". Yet I have a VERY high regard for human life and safety, especially that of my family. Such a high regard that I am not going to rely on somebody else to keep them safe. I pray every day that I never have to.

    How many people do die as a result of gunshot wounds? Of those, how many were inflicted by LEGAL gun owners?

    Also, Wom, FWIW, did not twist the statistics. If anybody did, its the FBI. What motivation does the FBI have to lower crime statistics? Last I checked, government agencies try to justify their existence, not give reason for funding cuts.


    Hoplophobes are interesting.

    Wom - I do find it interesting that on one hand you have said our Bill of Rights should be burned up... Then you post this.
