Sean put in some hard work looking at the FBI crime reports to debunk Joan Peterson’s constant raving that somehow “Gun Death” has some high incidence in domestic disputes. Many of us have come to the same conclusion before, but Sean takes a nice fresh look and brings along some Graphics. Go over and have a read.
Oh, FYI, I don’t think Joan has responded to Sean’s post, but years ago MikeB302000 went so far as to say that BOTH the FBI and the CDC were working for the NRA to produce numbers that disproved Joyce/Brady Campaign Dogma.

Honestly, though, I doubt she will actually respond – I cannot say as though I have seen her comment anywhere other than her own weblog, even at other anti-rights weblogs, so it would be something of a first. And then there is that whole problem that Bob S. found of her complete and utter inability to keep up with elementary-level mathematics… things like graphs and percentages and stuff would probably be far too overwhelming for her.

Probably the one honest thing we have ever gotten out of him.

I’m not holding out any hope of a comment. She’s not going to budge on “Knew their killer”=Family Member.
Thanks for the heads-up. Fixed it. Great post, dude!
Thanks. I still can’t figure out why the RSS reader can’t see it.
