I agree that we need to look at all the data. I welcome it. The
problem is I have not found it and it appears others have not been able to
find it. We are all working with insuficent data.

The onus for producing this data is on those who would ban
and control gun ownership. It is they, after all, who would
seek to change the status quo and eliminate a liberty that
is currently enshrined in the second amendment.

Your position seems to have shifted from "ban all guns" to
"there isn't sufficient data to support that proposal".

Perhaps you should conduct the definitive study and submit
it for peer review when ready? We'll be waiting and
prepared to provide constructive feedback ;-)
