The poster leaves out the part where the 2 year-old accidentally shoots and KILLS his mother.

(yeah true story, just happened in Patriarch town, close to where i live)

The lady shoots herself in the foot.

And there are several other potential pitfalls, like MORE EASILY committing suicide, for one.

But just to keep things, fair and balanced... ;)

GUN SAFETY IS A REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S truly the PART that was left OUT. :)

If I had the choice, I would go with the Mr. Spock neck pinch, always. Until then, My SIG Sauers will have to do.

What we really need is a system of cameras that just record everything so the moment anyone does anything a group of highly trained seven foot giants wearing full body armor tackle everyone in a small radius and melt all the guns into a massive collection of molten metal saved for the sole purpose of building the Obama library.

Where has this survey been replicated? By whom? The surveys of Kleck and Lott, among others, have invited replication which has held up in subsequent surveys.

This survey ( http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/ab ... 013.301409 ) was published in 2013 and reviewed "data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting Systems database on gun ownership and firearm homicide rates across all 50 states during 1981 to 2010." It is well known among criminologists that the peak for U.S. violent crime occurred between the early 1980s and the early 1990s during the crack-cocaine epidemic within urban areas. When the epidemic decreased substantially before the mid-1990s, U.S. firearm-related deaths continued to decrease. This survey appears to have cherry-picked the epidemic decade to pump up its results and pretend that they exist in today's world. They don't.

Since the epidemic decreased noticeably, the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics shows this continuing through 2011 ( http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf ). Localized-data reports show that this decrease continues today.

That is generally the case in CDC (health) statistics.
