Too right Colin.
The stats that are cited in the "petition" are baked anyway. Or I should
say half baked. Thought there is a correlation statistically, there is
no causal correlation at all.
Just a bunch of bunkum.
Too many people get shot by handguns every min in the US. Don't repeat
our stupidity.
