The one interesting thing about those gun-in-the-home studies?  

They include all the guns in the homes of gang bangers who do so many of the criminally connected killings. 

A gun in a home on MLK in Portland is a lot different than a gun in a home in Bend, Oregon!

I found this interesting:  "However they also found that mental illness does not make one more at risk of committing suicide or being killed by a gun."  

I wonder how the statisticians came to that conclusion.  

Mostly sane people commit suicide?  How was 'mental illness' defined?
