Remeber any numbers can be played with till they agree with your side. Studies and info can the manipulated to show what your want.
I saw that and my info comes from the NRA. I do believe in a well arm citezen. 2 reasons First to help control crime, rape murder and assualt is stopped instantly with a gun.
second reason that criminals dont follow gun laws, leaving the average joe helpless, gangbangers and organized crime love gun laws, they know then ONLY the police have guns. and the police only show after AFTER the crime.
The other reason for the people to have guns is to keep the government in check. Only a government that fears its populace will be reasonable. Manners in the US took a big decline when carry concled laws went into effect. Crime has climb in big numbers since gun onwership has gone down.
Just my .02 worth
