got me stumped.. probably because the article is not from an independant site - he doesn't know it was mainstream news here and it just happens that site has got a copy.. although even if the link was to our biggest national newspaper he'd still probably call it propaganda.. Even though the stats come fromt he Australian Bureau of Statistics. The NRA patently lied on that one and got caught outin it's propaganda, anyone can go and check the stats.
that article he linked to had a interesting quote :
"Out of the 7,875 handgun homicides in 1998, only 1.2 percent were justifiable handgun killings of an assailant unknown to the person defending themselves. Most killings with handguns are by people who know each other, and often such guns are used against their owner. "
