When you first posted I was under the impression that you had actually researched the statistics related to gun crime/accidents and that they were blatantly falsififed.
Have you?
That is, did you find that the 2% was inaccurate and, if so, by how much?
Did you find that the 98% figure was inaccurate and, if so, by how much?
I don't have the book, but did Moore provide a footnote or reference to where he obtained his statistic?
I'd also like to know the extent Moore's editor may have altered certain "sensational" data to create the bestseller his book has become.
