If 1500 accidental deaths per year is an acceptable amount, then your opinion differs from mine. My point was that having stricter gun laws doesn't only stop the good guys from defending themselves, as you said. It's very complicated, and it's not black and white. Again, you don't see any leeway.

I could find other statistics to compare with what you've said (like "In 1994, however, coinciding with the implementation of Brady, the trend reversed and gun-related crime has been dropping faster than the violent crime rate ever since." or "More telling is this continuing trend where crime fell faster in states that have strict carrying concealed weapons (CCW) laws or that do not allow the carrying of concealed weapons at all than in states which have lax CCW laws."), it's just who puts the right slant on the information.

I'm not even for treating computer viruses like biological viruses, it's just important to think about both sides of the issue. And I thought it was an interesting approach. I don't think it's just something to totally discard without even considering it on any level whatsoever.

What more is there to say about a U.S. Attorney General who is more concerned about web pages being defaced than people being blown away by firearms, in the hands of convicted criminals and others who've been judged a danger by the courts?
