The last study I saw on this topic was a bit old, but pretty spectactular; reporting that one of the first comprehensive forensic examinations of bullets from homicides in Washington DC arrived at the somewhat startling conclusion that over hundred homicides (the bulk of the year's tally) had been committed with as few as 13 individual guns. I know I have this study on file somewhere, but just spend over a hour in a pretty exhaustive search and failed to locate it. :-( -- Escape the Rat Race for Peace, Quiet, and Miles of Desert Beauty Take a Sanity Break at The Bunkhouse at Liberty Haven Ranch http://libertyhaven.com _______________________________________________ To post, send message to Firearmsregprof@lists.ucla.edu To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
