text: 300 million guns in America. About 1200 gun-related incidents a year. No guns allowed in France and England (not in law abiding hands anyway). Yes French people have been fish in a barrel for several terrorist attacks that used -- unbelievably -- guns.
  
  Meanwhile here in the US it is estimated that Americans use guns to defend themselves from violence about a million times a year. Here in Fairbanks, a guy recently stopped an assault that seemed headed toward the death of the victim by brandishing his firearm. He didn't shoot or kill anyone. The presence of the gun was enough to make the assailant stop sort of murder.
  
  I suggest you statistical data sources a bit. At least then your presuppositions will be based on facts and not half-truths.
