Please don't pull stats from ridiculously inaccurate sources like "Bowling for Columbine" or the Brady center. Take a look at the base sources and crunch your own numbers if you want to know the truth.

I'm sorry, but you are completely ignorant to the truth and you've yet to respond to any of my posts directly. Feel free to live in whatever fantasy-land you want, where there is a policeman in every home and guns magically injure children by themselves. I'm just glad you're not in a position of authority, because you really need to research your harsh view of guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens.
