But Gunner is not correct that the FBI tracks this data.

Just more of his BS, eh?
Looks like the pond thawed.

It's a common mistake. People like Josh Sugarmann were very successful in
muddying the waters over this whole issue. You can go back to the major
newspaper and TV stories of the time and find references that say,
"according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports," and then, in the same
article, they say "BATF says..."

The truth is, they don't know where the data came from. They didn't look.
They read PR handouts from HCI and the FOP...which were complete bull****.

Once again, trust no second-hand figures. Go to the source, or risk being
made a patsy by somebody with an agenda.
