THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!!

I have been making it a point to read every internet news articlewhere someonehas beenwounded or killed by the illegal use of a firearm.

One question keeps coming to mind:

HOW MANY OF THE VICTIMS WERE ARMED AND READY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WHEN CONFRONTED BY A FIREARM IN THE HANDS OF A CRIMINAL?

THE PERCENTAGE OF VICTIMS WHO WERE UNARMED AT THE TIME THEY WERE CONFRONTED MUST BE ASTRONOMICAL.

Discounting armed members of Law Enforcement the number would definately be near 100%.

Somebody should ask the Brady Campainto do the math and publish the numbers.
