I'd also like to know, among the numbers of gun owners who tried to stop a crime, how many successfully stopped the crime, how many tried to stop the crime but failed, and how many got shot with their own gun or the gun of the perpetrator. I'd also like to see data on how many gun owners illegally use lethal force to stop a criminal, such as a gun owner using a gun to stop shoplifting or another type of crime that never calls for lethal force.

@35 - I never knew about the NRA mag crime report thing. In retrospect, do you think they were legit reports, or did it read like more of a Penthouse Forum for gun lovers?

So I'm curious to compare the two figures. How many actual crimes does an NRA member truly thwart, versus how many end up enraged and shooting a co-worker, loved one, or bystander.

The NRA already quashed Dr. Rivara's attempt to do a similar study, so we know they already believe there is something scary in the data.

And rumors that hedge funds are buying up distressed homes in Seattle area.

Sure.
But only after the shootings have been converted to nice, sanitized statistics.
Individually, as long as the shootings are confined to someone else in someplace else they can be ignored.

But I do agree with #5 on most points BUT FOR EVERY SHOOTING INCIDENT (even wounding or just firing a gun inside the city).
Where did the shooter get them?
Any of them acquired illegally?
Any via the gun-show loophole?
Acquired recently? Or a long-time gun owner?
Law enforcement background?
AND
Magazine capacity.
Gun type (revolver, semi-automatic pistol, rifle, etc).

The point being to illustrate how the MAJORITY (over 50%) of shootings will not be impacted at all by the "reasonable" restrictions being suggested.

I think people like games they played or watched as kids. Where there's a lot of kids playing hockey, it's more popular. Where there's been a team for years, it's more popular. With that said, our beer league is second in size in the country, there's two junior teams and the Sounders seem to have built an audience in their second life.

So what do you think are the likely answers to your questions?

Or did you only want to focus on domestic violence shootings? If so, why? Why not look at shootings overall?

NHL is not awesome. Gary Bettman sucks. Try to follow a hockey league that doesn't have a commissioner with a record of lockouts and cancelled seasons.

Also, an unscientific poll in which (at this time) more people have voted against marriage equality than for it. Everyone should go and vote!

@17: She should be used as an example of what happens when you imbibe too much Fox News with no other input to help normalize your worldview.

Marriage for all: does the law represent a projection for the children's rights?

Oui!

There's also a very scientific poll on the right hand side of the page. I think we are to vote "Oui", right?
