I thought you had stated previously that accidental deaths of children had been undercounted because they were "misclassified" as homicides.<br /> Total number didn't change, just the circumstances. The "studies" here don't limit themselves to accidental deaths, but all deaths by firearm. I think you were talking about this post.<br /><br />http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2013/12/accidental-firearm-deaths-are-under.html<br /><br /> Even Mike seemed to "get it" back then,<br /><br />"What are you talking about? I never said the total number of deaths is under-reported. I understand that it's simply a case of mis-classifying accidents as murders."<br /><br />ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-8745308708299242442014-10-28T15:45:03.528+01:002014-10-28T15:45:03.528+01:00SSG Tactical Reason uses an old gunloon tactic--pr...SSG Tactical Reason uses an old gunloon tactic--pretend studies gunloons don't like have been discredited.<br /><br />As I've sagely noted previously, gun murders of children are widely known to be understated because, in many states, homicides involving children are not a matter of public record.Jadegoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219212637582238275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75429950139643345322014-10-28T15:20:01.161+01:002014-10-28T15:20:01.161+01:00Again Mike, even media outlets friendly to gun con...Again Mike, even media outlets friendly to gun control had to call BS because they managed to take the inflation of statistics to the point that not to mention it would harm the media outlets' credibility. <br /> And again, even after being called to task on this by the "friendly" media, they don't seem to have done anything to fix it. ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-11387641128354757022014-10-28T15:10:40.663+01:002014-10-28T15:10:40.663+01:00They only lose credibility to those like yourself ...They only lose credibility to those like yourself who are already antagonistic to their position.

As I've said before, these groups could have just as accurately illustrated their point by using accurate numbers. By resorting to inflation of statistics to the point where even media sources sympathetic to their cause call them on it only serves to have their message discounted.<br /> Especially telling is all of them seem to be doing nothing about correcting these issues. At least when Kellerman's study was shown to have accuracy issues, he actually made corrections. ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-6011937635426867872014-10-27T08:30:20.435+01:002014-10-27T08:30:20.435+01:00Count the school shooting more rigidly and remove ...Count the school shooting more rigidly and remove the adult teens and the point remains the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-91828892619016247152014-10-26T18:30:05.138+01:002014-10-26T18:30:05.138+01:00Killings allowed to go on because of gun loons and...Killings allowed to go on because of gun loons and their cry of infringing on their rights because of regulations that would help stop some of these killings.

The school shooting study has even been criticized by CNN and Politifact. And then there is the child and teen firearms deaths figure that adds adults into the numbers in order to double the number of deaths. <br /> I'm surprised they didn't throw in the VPC's concealed carry killers "study".ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.com
