I just think it's rather silly to use a few cherry-picked statistics to "prove" a spurious point. Especially when more than one person does it based on the very same report.

So, no one can dispute these stats?

Is this because, it does not fit the daily MSM agenda?

Nope, as usual, going after someone/something without actually knowing facts....now that is Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh

But you still have noting, those evil assault rifles, don't kill as much as you or the MSM states....that's why you won't see this reported...nor do you have anything to prove that data wrong....
