[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2891204, member: 18914"] But don't you see RugersGR8, statistics and facts do not matter - its all about feelings. If I feel like there's more gun deaths, even if it can be shown there aren't actually, well my feelings must take priority. BTW - putting aside my sarcasm, there is a serious argument to be made and which can/must be answered. It is true, a fact, that there were many more gun-homicide deaths 25 years ago even though fewer guns were in circulation among the populace and the overall population was smaller. Nevertheless, even the reduced number we now have is a pretty big number compared to any of our peer-nations (European nations, Australia, the UK, etc.). That is the real question we have to address because eventually someone will notice that the first "issue" is a red-herring but the second issue is much more substantive. Don't get me wrong, there are good answers I'm just saying lets prepare to answer the tough questions not the easy ones. [/QUOTE]
