Even if her figures are correct, so what? To me the only statistic that counts is the one that occurs in my home. I can either be the one in 160 that uses my gun for legitimate self defense, or I can be one of the 12,000 people killed by someone else's gun. The person who is responsible for her brother's death is her mother, sue her ass for using the gun improperly. Typical liberal, wants to put the blame on someone else.
"I can either be the one in 160 that uses my gun for legitimate self defense, or I can be one of the 12,000 people killed by someone else's gun."
And not surprisingly she concentrates on the statistics involving only deaths to create the large disparity. John Lott's research has determined there are between 1-2 million incidences of legitimate self/property-defense every year using firearms but without a single shot fired. And she ignores murder in Great Britain committed with other weapons as if they're not important.
