"The problem with gun control activists’ stance is that it isn’t backed by any actual hard numbers. They try to massage the figures to make them more emotionally appealing, but the fact remains that virtually every statistic proves the idea that — at the very least — guns are not the problem. With public opinion shifting against them, one group has now decided to try to make it seem that the numbers really are in their favor with a website they’ve dubbed the 'Gun Violence Archive.'

As most students of the gun issue have long known, all of the extant data suffers from varying degrees of reliability. The FBI UCR is based upon police blotters reports and its internal reports. The CDC, (apparently) screens government and media accounts. But we all know how factually inaccurate media accounts are. Now "GVA" is going to "fix the problem" ? HOW ?

The only peer-reviewed/supported study on "defensive firearms use" by Kleck & Gurtz only proposed their finding of 2.5 million/yr might be a "conservative figure".

But GVA claims its going to "cut to the core" of a complex social/legal/political issue that's puzzled academia and law enforcement for decades. Seems like they've got more mud than methodology.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. —THOMAS JEFFERSON
