Gemini, ok maybe my comment was a bit hasty. I'm sure you did read that statistic somewhere - more than likely on a pro gun site. Just like I've read countless other studies that show just the opposite. Almost all studies are private - i.e financed by the NRA or gun control advocates.
When statistics and politics mix you take the desired outcome and then fit the data to prove it. It's done by both sides.
Anyway, an unbiased report released by the FBI or ATF would be welcomed by me. Such a thing doesn't exist to my knowledge. So, I mainly tend to ignore statistics from both sides and focus my choice on the one thing that I know sounds good - less guns
