I love stats. Depending on what the agenda is highly affects the outcome of the presentation.
In this instance, the NIJ's agenda was to look at these events, analyze them, and come up with recommendations for safely managing firearms in the home to try and cut down on the number of kids that find their parents guns and accidentally kill themselves and or others with them. That happens on average about 3,000 times a year here in the US.
Their agenda was/is not anti gun, quite the opposite in fact. It was/is pro gun and pro responsible gun ownership and management.
Coley, I'm not in agreement, although I want to be. Any government agency is not, repeat not interested as a priority in freedoms of the individual. They are interested in control. In some, perhaps most, instances where some degree of control is desired, the laws written no doubt affect the law-abiding folks as well, and there is the rub.
From the home page of NIJ.gov........"Each year, too many law enforcement officers die in the line of duty. Last year, 177 lost their lives — a 16 percent increase from 2010."
And you want me to believe that NIJ is interested in my gun "freedoms"? I suggest that such is not the case. In the long run, the problem(s) will always be those who have no respect for others....I wish us all luck with that.
