ShotgunHunter,

Thanks much for the links!

I love reading data like this (from just a preliminary surface overview, it looks like some very interesting reading tonight). BTW, it almost appears 'impossible' to find (as you mentioned) official hospital or gov. data concerning handgun fatalities via caliber--I gotta believe the FBI is aware and I cannot understand why the data is either sensitive, controversial or classified.

One final note, I want to find out from the articles you link to if any .22lr "Rifles" were a considered variable (I've seen studies that included this as well).

-Cheers
