: In ''this'' post you've put a much more reasonable argument than your previous post regarding guns being helpful.  ''That'' post was nonsense, and as ''this'' post doesn't defend that point, this post does nothing to change the fact that your previous post ''was'' nonsense.

The article now says, "In the United States, law-abiding uses of guns outnumber criminal uses by about a factor of 1000 to 1", with the reference being "http://www.americanselfdefense.com/gunfacts3.0.pdf (p. 60)".  Is this a reference to that page saying "Percentage of guns used in crimes: 0.09%"?  If so, I believe that it has been misunderstood, as that is talking about the percentage ''of guns'', not the percentage of ''uses of guns''.  [[User:Philip J.
