11. Ah yes, asking for a link when I cited the source for my information,

the passive/aggressive way of calling me a liar! Well, here ya go:

I'll save you the arduous task of actually reading the research and relate the NPR findings of this piece; "According to a Harvard University analysis of figures from the National Crime Victimization Survey, people defended themselves with a gun in nearly 0.9 percent of crimes from 2007 to 2011." Being generous I rounded up the .9 to to 1% or ONE IN A HUNDRED.

Two questions for you about Dr. Kellerman; Is this the same Kellerman known for linking gun ownership with rates of violence and have you asked for 'link please' to satisfy yourself that the Dr. wasn't just talking out his ass?

Sorry, no Grey Poupon but I have a safe full of Mosin Nagants and Swiss 7.5s.
