This one is much better. At least from a non partisan point of view. Way different from the 1st source you posted. I do find it interesting though that both like to leave out the 3000+ and counting from 9/11. That number continues to climb as people are dying from the after affects. This doesn't take away from the fact that we have way to many murders by gun each year. I just don't like to see slanted data.

I enjoy reading your posts. It's not everyday that you get to share a forum with someone that is both autistic savant and Alzheimers at the same time.
