So, feel free to link to other threads and such. We all know the Brady's and other anti's assume that gun=murder. What I want to do is understand where they get their statistics, and how everything is warped in a way to show that guns are evil. Here's one example of what I mean...
If you go to bradycampaign.org and click on the "facts" link, it says...
"In 2006 guns murdered:
18 in Austria
27 in Australia
59 in England & Whales
60 in Spain
190 in Canada
194 in Germany
10,177 in the United States"
First of all, where do they get these "statistics"? Second, what are these "statistics" leaving out? Third, what other "statistics" and "facts" do they have to support their argument? I'm not one that enjoys being ill-prepared (hence, I carry a gun) in any situation. Even a discussion with an anti gun person. Please load me up with more info than needed. Thanks in advance!
