I'm sorry, but stats like that DO get you thinking. Violent people are going to commit acts of violence with whatever they can get their hands on.
this is a line of reasoning that most people tend to dismiss totally, or just willfully ignore. i'm of the opinion that the % of all out whackjobs in society is going to remain constant regardless of what types of restrictions are put on guns or any other dangerous things. like i have stated many times, humans are very adaptive, and its up to the individual if thats a good or bad trait. if i was so inclined, i could easily go to the gas station and spend less than $10. bingo, now i have the potential capability to cause a great deal of devestation very easily and efficiently!
