Hi Geoff, Well, I see that there are more, but it isn't 50,000. I don't remember posting that figure - look it up in the archives, will you? Meanwhile, I will have to work on this because they have the data in six different tables that are not linked. 642 was Unintentional gun deaths, there are more in the Homicide listings, but the homicides are not all gun deaths. The year is 2006. The website is WISQARSTM Produced By: Office of Statistics and Programming, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data Source: National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), National Vital Statistics System http://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe They ARE a government agency, ".gov". I will have to open each homicide table and find the firearms figure, then add it on a calculator. It won't be 50,000. OK, it is 6675, when you include homicides. I suppose there may be some suicides as well. Yes, 13,054, more than homicides and accidents. This outfit is part of the CDC, they are not "pro-gun". They are the ones who wanted to define firearms as a disease. OK, 19,729 including homicide and suicide. Not nearly 50,000. Where did I find the 50,000 you say I posted? I don't remember. I do remember you said that was a pro-gun figure, whatever it was, then. >> http://www.tincher.to/deaths.htm -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
