this indicates to me is not about the gun, rather, the person. all this hysteria over an inanimate object is ridiculous. the real issue is the guns, it is the people and society. we are doing better, overall (murder rates down) because we addressed more than just the gun issue. there is no evidence to suggest more deaths have been caused by guns since the gun ban act expired.
