With respect to the issue you were discussing when you were so rudely interrupted by the ladies of the fevered brow, I have been doing a little digging through Justice Department statistics. I have statistics on how many mothers and fathers were murdered in 1998, but haven't been able to drill down to the weapon of choice for matricide or patricide - but I'm working on it.

In the meantime, of 14,088 people murdered in 1998, 99 (.007%) of the victims were the mother of the perpetrator, and 120 (.0085%) of the victims were the father of the perpetrator.

I don't know about you, but I have a real problem with determining public policy about handgun control based on children killing parents when it's such a rare offense.

I think it's just an hysterical emotional reaction - which is why you were unable to discuss it rationally with the counterparty to your dialogue.
