We had this debate last year and YOU produced stats that showed almost 50,000 died from guns in that year. Find a government agency that records raw data and not spin-modified data and you will find the real answer. You would ahve to be extremely naive to believe only 642 died from guns in the USA in a year. I doubt even madagain would believe that. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Tuesday, 23 March 2010 2:32 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] Welcome to Deemocracy geoff wrote: > You're not seriously going to suggest that 642 people died from guns in the > USA in a whole year right?
