"The world's most popular reference book", Millennium Edition reads on page 318:

"Most fatal shootings: There are currently more than 200 million guns in the US, where one in four adults owns a firearm and about 40,000 fatalities are caused by guns each year. In the last ten (10) years, gun-related homicides in the US have risen by 18%."

This is worse than the lie's of the Attorney General when she said there were 29,829 gun-related deaths in 1998, and the facts are in plain view for all to see! The numbers taken from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, taken from the Department of Justice web site. A rate of 9.8 per 100,000 population in 1991, declined sharply to a rate of 6.3 per 100,000 in 1998. FBI estimates total homicides at 16,910 for the year 1998.

A lot more people will read this Guinness Book of World Records than will hear the lies of the present Clinton administration.

Don't you think a Class Action Law Suit against the Guinness people would help your organization's cause?
