But they are facts and stats. How would you like me to reference them? Gary Kleck, a criminologist who was studying to prove that guns were dangerous found this stat and fact that 2.5 million people defended themselves with a gun. He found that number by his own research and citing the National Crime Victim Survey. His book was cited in a Supreme Court case. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kleck) Would you like me to read you the book? Here is a website http://www.pulpless.com/gunclock/kleck2.html or http://www.pulpless.com/gunclock/kleck1.html
