Curious. Has a stats study EVER been done to show how many crimes have been committed with legal registered guns?
Now this is information that would be well worth getting out there. Soccer mom central always hears about crimes associated with guns. But to show them that crimes are committed with illegal guns would show them how vulnerable they are and voting to ban guns would leave them more so.

Maybe we can find a TV or a radio station in Nowhere Nebraska to run a single ad after the deadline?? Would not it be fun??

I think there has been one done, but I'd have to check my fact card that is sitting on another server.
Let me get back to you in the AM, ok?

Curious. Has a stats study EVER been done to show how many crimes have been committed with legal registered guns? What's legal about registering guns? Many states don't you know. If you meant legally purchased guns, that is another matter. I'm sure the study has been done. Probably some info in Kleck or Lott's books.
The answer of course is that criminals don't buy their guns through legitimate channels, but even if they did, how does that justify restricting my rights as a non-criminal citizen?
