There are very clear statistics that prove that far more people are killed as a result of a family member having a gun in the house, than successfully defend themselves from an intruder (something like 10 to 1).

There are very clear statistics that show that child death due to gunfire could be nearly eliminated by stricter gun control and gun safety laws. Yet the NRA spends millions on lobbyists and misinformation and false stats to deceive voters and intimidate candidates.

See here's the thing you chicken shit gun freak pussies.. there are these little things called FACTS - and hard cold STATS that make your silly arguments hold no water...
