Jos,

>The other aspect of your argument is the unfortunate death by accidental shooting. This too happens in South Africa and is, of course, tragic. However, as a percentage of gun-deaths it is very small indeed.

Its ironic, that the NRA's self defence argument is false, just based opun the fact that a gun in the house is about 40 times more likely to hurt a family member in an accident than an intruder.

So what then is the real argument for blocking gun control ??

Leaves me stumped.
