Don't Rip My Head Off -- It's Worth a Read (Gun Self Defense Study)
#3
RE: Don't Rip My Head Off -- It's Worth a Read (Gun Self Defense Study)
I think my favorite part is this:

Quote:There were 535 accidental firearms deaths in 2006 within a population of almost 300 million people. Although every lost life is tragic, the proportion is not particularly startling.

I bet the proportion would be pretty startling if one of those 535 was someone he knew. Like, his kid. I wonder how high that number has to be before it's 'startling'.

There were 353,175 firearms deaths between 1999 and 2010, according to the CDC. Is that startling?
