Thanks for the link.  Too much info to absorb in 1 quick read.  I'll be spending quite a bit of time there for a while.

Good Website.
When HCI (Handgun Control Inc.) set out their numers for total murders with handguns they included all police shootings in thier numbers.  I wonder of the 16,000+ murders and 10,000+ gun related ones include Police justafied shootings.
Much like ALL heart or lung related deaths are contributed to Tabacco in the US.
If you never smoked and died of a heart attack you are a smoking death.
But the 67% of all murders are committed with firearms is a shocking number.  I thought it would have been a higher percentage.  Had there been no guns, I think those same 16K people would be dead jut other tools would have been used.
