Got a reference on that by any chance?

I am a moderate on this. I believe guns are not evil, but distribution 
of them should be controlled (for example, require license, no criminal 
or bad psych record, and some limit on guns and ammunition outside of 
the range).

That said, the numbers... oh god. Facts. Pfft.

It's a love/hate relationship between me and facts which put leave my 
ideology lying on the ground, bleeding.
