Daniel: When quoting the "30k+/year firearms deaths" it would be informative to see how those deaths are apportioned: 18,000+ are by suicide (out of 30k+ suicides/yr.) 15,000+ are by homicide and legal intervention 1,500+ are by accident of which approx. a third are by handgun accidents and a fifth by hunting accidents. "75 lives are saved by use of a firearm in self-defense for every 1 that is lost. (Kleck Study) " The FBI's own stats show a million crimes/year are averted by the law-abiding public's use of firearms. An argument can logically be made that the benefit afforded to the public by firearms outweighs by a large margin the detriment imposed. halfscot
