"But it is pointless to try to deny the link between more handguns and increased murder and suicide rates."

I can only picture this reporter covering his ears, closing his eyes and repeatedly saying "Don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, la la la lala lala laalaalaaaaa!"

this guy is not "with the times"--

So while we Americans don't know whether more of us will be killed by anthrax, we can be quite confident that plenty of us will be killed by these additional handguns.

The FBI has figures showing that in the six months since the terror attacks it has conducted 455,000 more background checks for gun purchases than in the same period a year earlier. The agency says it has also conducted 130,000 more checks than a year earlier for applications to carry concealed weapons.

so by this guy's logic, there should be a lot more death and destruction going on...about 455,000 more murders and 130,000 more killings

i gotta go email this loser
