The Brady Campaign and the Violence Policy Center evaluate the benefits of concealed handgun laws based solely on the claimed costs -- they don't compare the cases where defensive uses occurred to the bad things that happen, but only count what they claim are the bad cases. They ignore lots of amazing defensive gun use cases. But even more bizarrely, they count legitimate self-defense cases as bad events even when no charges are filed or the permit holder is later exonerated.

hmm...sounds like lots of other topics.

For the most boring read (but extremely informative) of your life, pick up John Lott's book More Guns, Less Crime.  It's chock full of stats of all types about gun ownership, right-to-carry laws, etc..... and the stats make it extremely boring to read, but you'll understand why the libs have to create "facts" about gun ownership after reading the book.  The safety benefits for society, when more folks have firearms in their hands, is undeniable. 

A good liberal will never let the facts get in the way of an argument, especially when it comes to gun ownership.

The government will never take our guns unless they want to start another civil war. It would be inevitable.
