In the 10 years ending in 2006, 486 children under age 18 in North Carolina, alone, died from gun-related injuries. I wonder how many of those "children" were gangbangers that died in turf wars? I suspect most of them.

There were probably 10,000 or more whose lives were saved by someone having a gun available for self protection.

I don't know but Charlotte has 38 homicides so far this year, up considerably from the previous year. However, as she mentions in the article, more citizens are fighting back and blowing the robbers away.

Also, given the political creativity with statistics; it could mean that there was a gun somewhere that the police saw and listed it in the report.
Kinda like an alcohol related accident where there was booze,beer,wine present. Doesn't matter if the person or persons involved were actually inebriated, it is (or can be) listed as an alcohol related accident.
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
