PTT:
Your list of anecdotes, assuming your figure of 6500 is correct, goes back to 1959, so at least 53 years, so a massive 123 a year
Thanks for checking my maths... 123/year = "about one every three days"..
That compares to the >100,000 homicides per year by gun
I don't know... I haven't read all 6500 to try to determine how many potential victims were saved but, as our dear President says "if it only saves one life then it's worth it"...
For the nth time, it's not random armed intruders who do most of the killing.
I don't care. I care about the random armed intruder. I don't care that Kellerman
thinks I'm 2.7 times more likely to die because I have a gun. I'm far more interested in the fact that the intruder has a much higher chance of dying than my 2.7 times if he enters my house. He has an infinitely higher chance of death in my house than he does entering the unarmed house down the road. I like those odds. Again, thanks for helping me clarify that...
