The bottom line -- as even the CDC has agreed -- is that the best current evidence demonstrates that defensive gun use is at least as common as offensive gun use. Which destroys the "moral" argument for gun restriction.

Tell me/us........why do you think it is that the media has been so absolutely silent on the gun restriction unfriendly recent comments from the CDC? I mean, y'all have been screaming about how the evil NRA is intent on silencing this righteous and honest organization.

Your a logical chap/gal -- you must have a smart answer at the ready!
