I'll bet that 20,000 deaths is fuzzy math anyhow.

Well, to start with banning handguns wouldn't stop any suicides...taking pills is just as easy. And I'm sure a lot of those deaths are gangland deaths, where they wouldn't obey the ban anyway.

Meanwhile EVERY life saved by a handgun is a legitimate stat, and from my reading, there's a LOT more than 20,000 a year.

BOTTOM LINE...Banning handguns would cause more deaths than it saved.

Actually, I'll buy this figure. Of course, I'd say about 18,000 of these are gang-banging thugs shooting each other and gang-banging thugs getting shot by the police, thus not really causing me to lose sleep in anguish over the "gun-epidemic" in America.
