you know the old saw, there are 3 kinds of lies...
lies
damn lies
statistics

i personally do not believe the numbers provided by any group with a partisan stake in the issue, be they pro or anti gun.

Of course, you are absolutely right. I try my best to look at both sides of any "hot button" issue.

I have weighed the stats from both sides and find that the pro-gun stats are infinitely more credible than the anti.

The anti stats speak to emotion while the pro stats speak to reason. I tend to favor reason.
