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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
