16. I don't trust the General Social Survey.

Why? Because it's administered by the University of Chicago. Why don't I trust the University of Chicago with any gun statistics? Because it's funded by the Joyce Foundation.

I wouldn't trust the NRA in giving me pro gun stats either, and i'm pro gun. I do trust Gallup, however.
