Hawkins continues, explaining that ABCNews not only is focusing on certain urban (Democrat-run) areas as examples of American “gun violence”, but that the “national statistics” ABC uses come from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), which doesn’t distinguish defensive uses of guns against violent attackers from violent attacks perpetrated by people with guns, and which engages in other curious forms of statistical magic. |

| As long as we have loaded 'research' babbling on and on about it people will never realize its simplicity - 'gun violence' is binary. It is either bad or good depending only on who does it to whom. NO MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
