WTF does that mean? It's either 20 or its not. Unless they are counting D.C. which requires you to disassemble your gun, lock it in a box, bury the box in concrete, and throw it into the potomac. BTW, 83% of all statistics are just made up. “About 20″ states? WTF does that mean? It’s either 20 or its not.

Evidently, Kellerman's 1986 study had been discredited so thoroughly that he had to produce a new one. This one, like pretty much all Kellerman's work post-1986, has been insulated from criticism by the simple expedient of not publishing the research data.

Take what he says with that boulder of salt you take with everything spokespeople says.

Glass door up top, drawer with ammo down bottom. No locks, and no "Safe Storage laws" required. Also almost no gun crime to speak of, and most of the gun "accedents" involved hunters not following the common rules of safty. Now living in mass, before I tuck my .45 in the night stand I have to secure it with a trigger lock....and note that while its one of the fastest means to get my gun to the ready (legally of course) its also a pure-and-simple violation of rule #3. Also they can be removed with ice pick or small screw driver with minimal effort http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/the-lockdown-gun-locks-unsafe-at-any-caliber/ Growing up in Maine, many of the houses in the Rural areas had a gun cabnet right in the living room.

It also coincides with increased safety training. To argue the law caused the decline is foolish.

Hours in interrogation with cops who have made up their minds has caused false confessions from grown-ups. I think I would want to see more evidence.
