Why do their hands always "tremble?" WTF is with that, anyway? Whose hands "tremble" when they pick up an inanimate object? Did they tremble when she first picked up a set of car keys?
In the 1990s, professional research by the Harvard School of Public Health, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that a gun in the home triples the likelihood of homicide, and is 43 times more likely to kill a friend or a relative than an intruder.
The oft-quoted "43 times" is from the Kellerman Kings County study, which has been widely discredited.It must have been a "positive" gun article. Perrenial self-defense hater and BGlobe letter to the editor writer Lewis S. Dabney is enraged.

SOMEONE HAS to respond to the May 18 op-ed by Emerson College teacher Margot Livesey, mainly on the grounds that an instructor of young, impressionable people could even suggest that buying a gun for self-defense is a good idea. In the 1990s, professional research by the Harvard School of Public Health, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that a gun in the home triples the likelihood of homicide, and is 43 times more likely to kill a friend or a relative than an intruder.
That we have more than 280 million guns in this country and continue to be cursed by an annual count of 34,000 fatalities from gunfire is ample proof that the more guns there are in circulation, the more likely is lethal crime.

And Dabney knows it too.The oft-quoted "43 times" is from the Kellerman Kings County study, which has been widely discredited
Besides more kids die every year by Drowning than they do with a "gun related incident".... Maybe We should ban pools, lakes and oceans....
