Putting Gun Death Statistics in Perspective

Most gun owners and rational folks are well aware of how gun and homicide statistics can be distorted, and even selectively inflated to suit the purposes of those who seek even more freedom control. Of course, there are those who claim "statistics can be used to prove anything" -- true, if figures are innacurate or 'massaged' to suit a purpose.

One simple statistic is when we compare the huge gun ownership figures of law-abiding people, with the (relatively) miniscule stats for things that get all the blame. Let's be real pessimistic -- say the "bad gun" events are 0.001 (1:1,000), that leaves a huge number of good folks who can be punished by draconian restrictions -- that is, paying the price for the bad guys!

Read this new article about the subject, which helps describe the balance and imbalance within statistics interpretation, and puts the blame where it belongs. Share it, if only to try and help redress the hype and disinformation shared by so many, who would seemingly welcome further controls on our rights.

Refer to the "Sandy Hook Index" for an archive collection of valuable material we have shown since the events at the Newtown Elementary School.

"… their real goal isn't disarming the criminals but disarming everyone they view as potential political opposition. Some segments of gun control are aimed at producing a local electoral majority, the prime example being the Colorado bills that would cause enough pro-gun people to move out of the state to ensure a long-term Democrat majority. Others are aimed at disarming the "most probably enemy" population groups, and both political parties are guilty of that to some extent, though the Democratic party does it far more."
