Just saw on the news......data from a study on gun deaths in the U.S. by state.

States with permissive gun regulations have 3 times more gun deaths than states with stricter regulations.

I fear that some of those reading this will say that it simply reflects the ability to strike down criminals before they harm you, and that the 3 times higher death rate actually points to a safer environment. But I hope they will remember that this includes the spiraling number of children who die from guns, which has become the #1 killer of children in the U.S......topping disease. And remember the great many other innocents who are shot.
