Armed with Reason: The Gun Study Data Base

2. Just one excerpt

from the study: "Without Guns, Do People Kill People?"

"Sometimes, no doubt, a person who is intent upon killing someone seeks out a lethal weapon. Far more often, gun-inflicted deaths ensue from impromptu arguments and fights: in the US, two-thirds of the 7,900 deaths in 1981 involving arguments and brawls were caused by guns [unpublished data, Federal Bureau of Investigation]. These deaths would largely be replaced by non-fatal injuries if a gun were not handy. Thus, a far more appropriate generality would be that "People without guns injure people; guns kill them."

Another Second Amendment absolutist myth exposed -- people with guns DO kill people. Clever NRA/ALEC, Koch Brothers, right-wing word play can not change that fact.
