I find all of this fascinating. I don't personally know anyone who owns a gun. Not that I know of, anyway. Oh, wait. I know one person. He uses it for hunting.
Anyway, I always find it amusing, too, that gun fanatics use these statistics like they do...as though gun laws are the only factor in crime.
Back to Obama:
I don't think anyone has anything to worry about. The country will likely always be awash in guns.

so are you trying to say that gun laws have no effect on crime? or that guns are the cause of gun crime?
found the report I was looking for and I was off, but it's also older....for 75 to 84. The number was that 5 out of 6 people would be victims of violent crime. My bad. too many things on my mind.
