The whole thing is bullshit. It's just designed to make states that have less gun laws look bad, even though they don't need bullshit gun laws to make them any safer. Do these people think gun laws have anything to do with murder rates and safeness of a state?

Gun Deaths and Injury - The United States Leads the World in Firearm Violence
I'd like to see the statistics for how many Canadians own guns/guns per household.
http://www.bradycampaign.org/issues/...ricanamerican/
^^ This is the reason guns get a bad name but if we keep loose gun laws the problem would just fix itself over time.
In 2005, 30,694 people in the United States died from firearm-related deaths – 12,352 were murdered; 17,002 killed themselves; 789 were accidents; 330 died by police intervention, and in 221, the intent was unknown. 6 In comparison, 33,651 Americans were killed in the Korean War and 58,193 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War.7
An additional 71,417 people were shot and survived their injuries -- 52,748 people injured in an attack; 3,190 people injured in a suicide attempt; 14,678 people shot accidentally, and 801 people shot in a police intervention.8
In 2004, firearms were used to murder 56 people in Australia, 184 people in Canada, 73 people in England and Wales, 5 people in New Zealand, and 37 people in Sweden.9 In comparison, firearms were used to murder 11,344 in the United States.10
In 2006, there were only 154 justifiable homicides by private citizens using handguns in the United States.11

Also I don't think murder or violent intent falls under the "accidental gun death" criteria.
"97% of all statistics are false, including this one."
Nothing wrong with guns, but why you gotta back it up with bull ---- statistics?
The North Dakota thing was actually pretty decent.
