I like it... Looks like I will be printing a few (quite a few) articles from this site. And you can be assured that the articles with the statistics that I've seen at this site will be a majority of those articles... Thank You for these ideas...

I also print out articles like this one, staple them together with the original article, and leave them in the lunch room. My NRA magazine also finds it way in there, side by side with Gun Test Magazine. I hope that a few people, that other wise would not listen to me, would get the message.

The NRA and pro gun bloggers can mention stuff like this all day long, but the anti gun people out there don't listen to the NRA, and don't (often) read gun rights blogs. I learned this the hard way. I started this website in the hope of getting anti gun people to read it, and change their views. However it seems that that majority of my regular readers, as well as the once-off readers, are pro gun already. I've gotten emails from a few people saying that I have persuaded them to at least reconsider the issue, but such emails are few and far between. What I've found does work (somewhat) is debating gun rights with friends and coworkers. I think that if all us gun owners were to do so, it would make a world of difference in this country's political landscape. Huck,

All I see here is preaching to the choir... The NRA is full of data being sent to all of their members... But I don't see anything in the mass media to counter these mis-leading stories. How do we get the word out, like those of this article?
