It's a classic! LOL! It's chock full of gems like this: "During the period 1980 to 2006, the percentage of Americans who reported personally owning a gun dropped more than nine percentage points" Gee, ya think? I guess the "gun problem" is just "solving" itself, huh? Or... Just Maybe.... gun owners are a bit more reluctant to answer questions like: “Do you happen to have in your home (if house: or garage) any guns or revolvers?” I know how I would answer if somebody from the University of Chicago asked me about my guns, I'd tell them to go pound sand! It's none of the freakin business! Further I expect a LOT of other gun owners would do likewise. Study, HA! Propaganda, that's what it is.... all it is.

I live in the Philly area and there was an article about this waste of life Vondell Roundtree aka, "pooh" who is up on murder charges. In 2002 he plead guilty to carrying a firearm without a license. He got 3 years....PROBATION! I'd love to think they will respond with a logical answer, but I won't hold my breath. Reasoned discourse I guess.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say they were trying to create the illusion of having footnotes. Then they go on to cite the number of news sources used by Google News, as if that makes their study more legit. This is too f****** funny.
