I'm pointing out flaws I see in the statistics that people post, I'm more or less blind as regards politics. Most statistics that we hear are slanted or skewed, thats an unfortunate given.

Secondly, by your own logic, how is a reasonable indivilual to know if the mugger isn't out to do you serious or deadly bodily harm?
better to meet the mugger with undeniably greater force. The situation ends and the law abiding gun owner reports the occurance to the proper authoriy.

Don't say "by your own logic" when you havent understood what I've said. I'm talking about the statistics, not the actual crimes. If a firearm is used in self-defence during a mugging, it dodn't save your life. Thats all I was pointing out. The Zogby poll is insane, it asks you to choose between punishing criminals, and gun laws. No citizen has to make this decision, and no policy-maker has to either.
