A new study appearing in Monday’s Annals of Internal Medicine, and reported by CNN, contained two revelations including one that may cause a problem for gun prohibitionists: Mass shootings make up less than 1 percent of U.S. gun deaths.
The study, titled “Handgun Acquisitions in California After Two Mass Shootings,” appeared coincidentally on the day after the National Rifle Association’s convention in Atlanta drew a reported 81,836 people, the second-largest convention turnout in the association’s history. |

What's the ration of Justifiable Homicide to mass shooting deaths?
Can we say that justifiables outnumber mass shootings ten to one, therefore you can't point to mass shootings and claim that guns are the problem, not the solution? |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
