it was dubious, to say the least.

So. Where does that leave "the truth"

I don't care enough to do the research to prove or disprove any of it,
I don't care that much about the subject - we have a different
culture, and its a bit much that your gun lobbyists try to bolster
their case with "statistics" and research from my own country.

Credibility needs to be earned - Cliff with his loony leftist rants
has the same credibility as Gunner with his "messages from high
ranking officials telling the truth" - ie, zero.

In closing - its an emotive subject anyway (like politics) so no
amount of argument, rational or otherwise, is going to change anyone's
mind. I read a quote once that said "everything you read in the
newspapers is correct, except for the subject you have great knowledge
about"......

In other words...despite MULTIPLE sources of data, you choose to ignore
all of it, because your mind is already made up, and nothing will change
it.

And wave your hands in resignation over your inability to care one way
or another....anything else might make you reevaluate your world view
and its simply too much bother.

Thanks for the honesty, though your clarity of position leaves something
to be desired.

Pip pip...stiff upper lip and all that.

Its sad to see how far into apathy the collective Anglo pysche has
plummeted. From a once proud and rightious people...to mediocrity at
best and a dispirited flock of sheep at worst.

Pity
