Yes, all the typical rebutals. As I recall the corrections officer was shot by his own gun which in turn was used to hijack a car and thearten many others. Anyone know any quadraplegics that where shot during carjackings, I do and he was armed. I also am reminded of two motorists in LA that flashed thier guns during a road rage incident and exchanged fire, it turned out one was an undercover officer and the other an off duty cop. I do not suggest taking guns away from responsible owners. Just stiff penalties for crimes committed with guns and reasonable regulations. I am confused by opposition to New Jerseys law to restrict a person to one purchase a month. Bob,The data was gathered is emergency rooms, it is not uncommon to be shot by your own gun. Erik The reason there are more "accidents" with gun owners vs non gun owners
is the survey was only taken among gang members

Where would we be if our ancestors hadn't been able to grab a gun and chase the British back to Boston? -- Joe B., who is writing a book about some Revolutionary War vets.
Quoting erikhansen@TheBlueZone.net:
Oh, and on the gun note. Those owning guns are at least 10 times more likely to be victims of gun violence than those who do not. Gun manufactures where taken to court to stop advertising guns as a safety device for that reason. You are free to own a gun as you wish, but they do not increase your safety. However, Guy, I do think the possibility that a homeowner may have a gun is deterent.
Erik
What rag did you read that in???
You are free to own a gun as you wish...
You got that wrong Erik, I am free because I own a gun.
