I don't know about that but it would be very interesting to have the true numbers from the police, in all gun related violence for each category of indictment what is the percentage of legally detained weapons involved verses illegally acquired or detained. From there, knowing that regardless of the true, genuine and sincere desire to fight tragic events such as Newtown, whatever piece of legislation can be adopted it will only affect the law abiding citizen and if the numbers show that there is an overwhelming majority of illegally detained weapons involved in each category of indictment, well the NRA is right and despite the politics that surround this debate and whatever opinions some may have of the NRA, of hunting or sport shooting people, the NRA should be closely associated in the search of common sense solutions to help the lawful gun owners at making sure their weapons and ammunition are secured. Detention and use of illegal weapons in crime and violence is a police and border control problem that no legislation will help?
Right now I'd like to know the numbers and it is my opinion if, and I expect the numbers to show that, the fraction of legally acquired and detained weapons use by their owners or family in gun related violence is rather small.
What's yours?
