Well, I think the facts really support gun owners when you put the numbers in perspective. Supposedly some ~40% of the population of the US owns at least one firearm, and we now have a little over 302 million people in this country. Last I heard from NRA and other sources, there are roughly 260+ million privately owned firearms in this country, and roughly somewhere over 100-120 million gun owners if that 40% figure is accurate. Considering that the number of annual deaths from guns in this country is usually around 25,000-30,000, and considering there are some 260-280+ MILLION guns in the country, I'd said the numbers are in our favor. If things turned out the way the anti's talk, we should have like 10 million deaths per year due to guns. From what I understand, there are considerably more non-fatal injuries per year due to guns, however apparently a majority of those are self defense related.
