Also when adding up numbers they add in the perpetrator of the violence.

I got a kick one day when I saw a death list of kids killed in Columbine that included Klebold and Harris.

Take, for example, the issue of how many children die each year in gun-related incidents

Define "children".

"Indeed, the only way to arrive at that number at the CDC site is to include suicides and gang-related deaths,..."

In other words, the cause of most of the deaths is divorced, single motherhood and generalized vilification of dads to make it more prevalent. Why, in another generation, we all be gangstas carryin' [urban expletive for weapons] whether or not private ownership of weapons is outlawed! ...all for the goddess.

I asked my boss those questions once upon a time. He told me that there were a lot of Catholics in Chicago so at least some of the Chicago Bears football team must be Catholic. Then he told me tht the Pope was Polish, so it was possible that he had. (By the way, my boss was Catholic so he wasn't making light of a group he didn't belong to.)

it shouldn't take long to check all the cdc records of gun deaths to see how they died... and at what age... too bad no reporter wants to destroy this myth, although jon stossel did an adequate job but not indepth as it should be...

facts are indisputable, statistics are used to distort the facts... an islamic mullah and president bush had a race, and bush won... al jazeera reported that in a foot race for allah, the mullah came in second, president bush, next to last...

When the "Anti-choice" gun grabbers fail to baffle the public with their brilliance, they continue to baffle them with their Barbra Streisand.
