Lather, I cannot believe that we are having exactly the same argument year after year. I keep saying the same things, and you keep questioning my arguments, and I keep referring back to the same bookmarked information to share with you. Since I am sure that neither of us will convince the other to change our positions it feels a little futile, but for those of us here who are new to the gun debate, here again is the url for the Missouri Capitol Police:

This is their statement:

"Statistics show, however, that a firearm is not necessarily an effective weapon. Keeping a gun at home was found to make the owner three more times likely to die violently by gunshot wounds, than the average person through accident, domestic violence or an assailant using the gun against the owner."
