That gives an area with total gun control the #1 firearm deathrate, almost 3 times as much as #2 Louisiana who does not control guns. The truth is it shows just how worthless these stats are, at least in the US, since one can always travel a few mile to get firearms if one is so inclined. Even more worthless is comparisons to British murder rates. Crime (non-firearm) is much more violently perpetrated in Britain as compared to America. ( In one stupid argument, I saw an American arguing with a Brit that our criminals were much more civilized LOL) It just a completely different dynamic at work. xponent Death Or Dismemberment Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
