I'm not sure what you mean "unlike the brady campaign...."

The Brady Campaign fact sheets also footnote a "large variety of sources including FBI uniform crime stats."

Like these stats from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports:
* Concerning the relationships (if known) of murder victims and offenders, 22.4 percent of victims were slain by family members

*Concerning the circumstances surrounding murders, arguments (including romantic triangles) comprised 27.1 percent of reported murder circumstances

So why do you think gunfacts.info (a self-proclaimed libertarian singer/songwriter with no discernable background in public safety, law enforcement, criminal justice, etc) is more credible than the Brady Campaign?
