"An Estimated 84 People Die Each Day From Gun-Violence".Where did these stats come from?Do these numbers include law-abiding citizens who sometimes have to use their firearms to defend themselves?I wonder how many times(each day)some poor slob slips in their bath tub?Why hasn't there been some legislation prohibiting this or requiring private industry to come up with"No Slip Bath Tubs"???

The 84 per day number is probably bogus. The anti-gun zealots make up a figure, and the dolts in the press dutifully report it. Here is how the numbers stack up, 365 days/year x 84 deaths/day= 30,660 deaths/year. I doubt if this is correct. This looks more like what we see with annual traffic fatalities.
