- loup-vaillant 11y ago(Dunno what's in the book) I hear hand guns in particular are quite accident prone. Even if there's less crime, we might still have more deaths.
- abfan1127 11y agoI'd check your sources. Hand Guns are no more accident prone than long guns.
- loup-vaillant 11y agoWell, it was hearsay anyway. Not reliable at all.
- Retric 11y agoNot if you adjust for usage. On average people use Long guns more than hand guns.
- Retric 11y agoThat sounds like a totally unbiased source! PS: I have actually been paid to look into crime statistics. Guns are bad, really really bad. But, you can twist statistics to say the sky is orange if you want to.
- lostapathy 11y agoTry reading the book. The author is a journalist who set out to build a case against guns and this book holds the facts he found. He came into it with a bias but still ended up with the opposite book from his intentions, due to honest research.
- omginternets 11y agoDon't pretend like that's a peer-reviewed source.
