I'm not sure how long that link will be valid, but basically it's a story about how suicides account for more gun related deaths than homicides and that a home that has a firearm is more likely to have a suicide or homicide. I have two comments on this.
1. If there are more suicides, you would think that the anti-gun establishment would be happy that we are killing ourselves off.
2. They make no mention of whether or not the homicides that occur are justified in self defense or not.
Just my $.02. What say you?
