Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

The thing about rates is if one person out of 10 does something, it appears "worse" than 9 people out of 100.

What are the actual totals compared to the "gun control" states?

How many track back to Only Ones?

How many are criminals, meaning they immerse themselves in unhealthy choices and can't honestly be portrayed as "gun owners"?

You see why the CDC needs a tight rein, to make certain they stay within the boundaries of real research vs. naked propaganda to facilitate gun bans.

I'll leave statistical debunking to pros like John Lott.  For deceptive crap like this, I'll merely observe that the responsible gun owners I know share no commonalities with these cesspoolers. Any time the Prozis want to put the ranks of Democrats up against, say, the 5 million members of the NRA, let's go.

I'll even let them throw in the populations of disarmed England and Japan of they really want to do a rate comparison.
