I'm saving this post along with some others as ammunition for the next gun-grabber I get in a discussion with.
Won't do any good at all.
I was in a discussion a few years back and the comment was made :"We have got to do something...the rate of children being killed in the home by accidentally getting their hand on a gun is skyrocketing".
I grabbed my handy world almanac (it was the 1992 one - this must have been in 93 or 94), look up accidental deaths - in the home - by firearms - by age.
(Now all this is from memory) the records began being kept somewhere in the mid 50's, say 1957. That number was like 950 deaths nationwide.
I then looked at 1990. The number was around 220 or so. She had already stated that the number of guns had increased as well as the population; so not only was the "rate" not skyrocketing, it was going through the floor.
She looked at the numbers and calmly said "That's not what that means".

I just closed the book and went back to work. That is when I finally realized that reality has no meaning to the Gun-grabbers.

Cordially,
