(20,709 posts)Where do we start. Well, there was the time that you claimed that "70 percent (of murderers) have at least one felony conviction", a statistic you apparently made up off the top of your head (even the pro-gun ideologue Gary Kleck only estimates 25%):

Then there was the time you claimed that Kellermann's gun study was funded by the Joyce Foundation (it was funded by the CDC):

Then there was the time you claimed Rachel Maddow said something "demonstrably false" about plastic guns, and when asked to "demonstrate" you responded with an all-time classic line "Since you can not prove a negative, I have to go with my version."

And so on. There list if false statements made by you is extremely long. So, like I said, based on your history of just making up "facts" to suit the pro-gun narrative, I don't put much weight on any sort of statistical or factual claims you make.
