sorry, dk...I dont consider gunfacts.info a credible unbiased source. The site author clearly has an agenda.

It would be like me posting Brady Center stats, like these:

* for every time a gun is used in the home in a legally justified shooting, there are 22 criminal, unintentional and suicide related shootings.

* the presence of a gun in the home triples the risk of homicide in the home

* the presences of a gun in the home increases the risk of suicide five times
http://www.bradycampaign.org/facts/f...earm_facts.pdf

----

* one out of three guns is kept loaded and unlocked....

...as a result

* nearly all child unintentional shooting deaths occur in or around the home; 50% occur in the home and 40% occur in the home of a relative or friend
http://www.bradycampaign.org/facts/f...s/pdf/home.pdf

----

* in 2004, 30% of all women murders were by intimate partners

* a gun in the home makes in 6 times more likely that an abused woman would be murdered than other abused women.
