But notice... in the face of evidence and statistics, what you've got is an anecdote. A very unfortunate one, to be sure, but it's anecdotal nonetheless. The statistics Will is referring to account for incidents like this one.
This indicates the main tool the gun lobby has: scare tactics. Booga booga, buy a gun or you might get beat down. Never mind that hardly anyone actually gets beat down--it's so bad for the ones that DO, that we should all be strapped at all times.
I admit, it has a certain kind of logic, in a sad, sick way.
