Like I said before, if an independent statistician were to come to the US and do an exhaustive study on handguns and present the findings to the American people I don't think we'd be having these conversations...

Right now there is a major information void... Yes, there have been studies and no matter how they turn out one side or the other blames the stat-men... And that is fair... We just don't have ***acceptable*** information... The entire argument is so contaminated by people's opinions, lobbyists, community groups, Brady & NRA folks that no one can form an intelligent opinion...

Anecdotes are fine but they never tell the entire story...

This is what is wrong with America (and perhaps Canada, I don't know)... We allow ourselves to accept an opinion based on someone's else's agenda... It doesn't matter the issue... I've said it before and I'll say it again: people aren't stupid, they are misinformed...

Okay, some are stupid...
