< Victoria, a state with a population of over four-and-a-half million
people in 1997, experienced 7 firearm-related homicides in 1996 and 19
firearm-related homicides in 1997 (an increase of 171%, not 300%). An
additional twelve homicides amongst a population of 4.5 million is not
statistically significant [etc] >
When I pointed out this little detail to the g*n enthusiasts a while back, I
was quickly set straight: Yeah, yeah, but WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE MURDERS DONE
BY PAPER-CUTS? they wanted to know.
