This isn't BS, it's simple logic: More guns = more opportunities for accidents and errors of judgment = more gun-related injuries and deaths, since guns can injure and kill. Do you also disagree with this: More cars = more accidents = more injuries?

I sure do. There are more cars on the road and less vehicle deaths over than 25 years ago. The same is true of guns. Quite the opposite of your "logic".

The logic of that is so elementary, if you subtract the emotional, unreasoned knee-jerk mantra that disagrees with any logical conclusion if it is negative toward what you want desperately to support. It's the reality, live with it.

If you look at the actual numbers you will find quite the opposite is true.

What I wrote comes from those experiences. I challenge you to make a different conclusion than the one I made, using my experiences- if you think it's wrong, you'll have to do more than just say so.

Self-referential data while useful to you, is not really valid.
