From the CNN website: There were 16,914 murders in
1998, 60% of them by guns. If this is correct, and there are an estimated 200
million guns in America, .000051% of guns in America are used to murder people.
Remember that when someone uses a gun to defend themselves they are usually
charged with murder, and this inflates the murder rate even if it is ruled as
justifiable.
I am constantly amazed at the gun "crisis" that the media covers daily.
Someone please feel free to correct me if my math is off. I am still a bit tired after my Defensive Pistol class yesterday.
