Our national record of gun violence is atrocious. There is no need to spout old, outdated information or leave things out, the "mostly true" or "partly true" claims.

Besides, in this kind of argument, it's nice to hold the high ground by not needing to make crap up, like the oft-spouted 2 million defensive gun uses a year I've been bashed over the head with for 20 years. We, and I mean you, I, and the others who feel the way we do, are better than that. I don't see how telling the truth is so difficult.
