Sailorcurt (who I can't wait to meet up with before and / or after Blackwater!) decimates the Brady's argument using a large quantity of decimal places.

Via SayUncle, I was led to the most recent Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership hysterics about a "law abiding gun owner" allegedly committing murder (thanks for the tinyurl Uncle...no need to add to their Google standings).

It's obvious what they're doing...this is just an extension of their latest propaganda ploy: by contending that Concealed Carry Permit Holders are nothing more than criminals who haven't yet committed crimes. They can claim that they only want to remove guns from the hands of "criminals" while still pursuing their ultimate goal of total civilian disarmament.

...

4 incidents in 12 days. Assuming that rate continues unabated throughout the year, that extrapolates out to 122 incidents per year. Divided by the estimated 80,000,000 law abiding gun owners...equals a rate of ...move the decimal point two places... .00015%

...

All gun owners are criminals because twenty one ten thousandths of one percent of them may have committed a murder or manslaughter in a 12 month period.

Sailorcurt is one of those law-abiding gun owners the Brady Campaign doesn't want you to pay attention to (namely, the vast majority of them).
