Yes, and somewhere in the US yesterday someone who was legally carrying a gun saved someone from serious injury, M.Ted. But what do stories such as these prove??? It is the statistical data that will tell us the story, not one off stories designed to further an agenda. Remember Willie Horton? Stories such as these are used as tactics. I am interested in facts, and answers. So far, no one has delivered a convincing argument as to what greater good would be served by taking guns away from folks like me.

Saul, you use a faulty bit of logic for the point you are trying to make. When you say, "Correlation does not necessarily equal causality..", it is just as valid to say that correlation may indeed equal causality. Again I ask folks to drop their group think and ask critical questions. It is fair enough to say that most folks on my beloved Mudcat don't share my view, but I only ask that they examine fact instead of the old groupthink that they have on this issue.
