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,

I have a little bit better deal with my gun-grabbers in that they are computer programmers and not devoid of logic like just about all liberals.

They quickly back down when faced with hard data and are able to accept new concepts (otherwise they'd still be writing COBOL source code by the mile.)
