Default Scarborough gets it right

"The best guess I can come up with..."

You left out the last two entries on that page:

"But the lack of information makes all this pretty murky."

"Stranger"

Signed by "Stranger"? This is your researched, footnoted, reliable info?

You are truly a laugh a minute!

Funny, if you drill down on this data, it separates deaths by handgun and "other guns". Since assault rifles aren't handguns, we must include them in with rifles and shotguns in "other guns". And the data shows not only that handgun deaths occur at around 4X the rate as all "other guns" combined, but also that the rate of deaths for all types have reduced sharply since the '90s, which is exactly what I quoted in another thread.



Even more interesting is that the "other guns" death rate number roughly equals "knife" in deaths. JPS, pay attention.


Thanks for not reading or understanding your own links enough to realize they don't support your statements at all.


Well sure they do, your problem is you cherry pick pieces instead of
being able to comprehend the whole story.


The sad thing is, I really do believe you think they do.

Because it's "murky" means it isn't true? "Stranger"? Are you like Harry
and think that it's prudent to use your real name on the net? Do you
realize that "Stranger" was just presenting before said data?

I KNOW that you cherry pick your data.
