I'd be interested to know where those statistics come from (and please don't
quote the NRA as a credible source).

You have to realise that the way of life is different over here.


Yes, it is. Strongarm robberies, home invasion robberies, assualt and

battery,
and stranger rape are far more common than here in the states.

But HCI, CDC, CNN, ABC, CBS, etc., are a credible sources?

In case you haven't noticed, the NRA studies usually refer to GOVERNMENT
sources. That means they're not too friendly to their to begin with....

I can guarantee that there have been several INDEPENDANT studies all
reaching that conclusion inclduding several that are normally quite HOSTILE
to the NRA (ABC News for one...).

So...when he proves his point will you change your mind, or your diaper?

I'll bet you evade it, spin it, or ignore it.
