137. We may be going in circles here
I believe I explained that looking for understanding is not like looking for car keys. It does not reside in one single location. The analogy lacks relevance.

To make an accurate comparison it is necessary to compare similar events which are clearly defined and accurately counted. The area of fatalities represents such an opportunity. Defensive gun uses does not represent such an opportunity because it is poorly defined and poorly counted.
