You are a Dreamer!
(Submissive Introverted Abstract Feeler)
You are a DREAMER (SIAF)— reserved and imaginative. You are basically the shy, silent type. You don't have much interest in facts and figures or most of what's going on around you, but the internal worlds you build for yourself are rich and complex. Luckily, your creativity and strong heart mean you have a deep personality evident to anyone who gets to know you. It's just that not many people do. Talk to yourself less, other people more.

1."there are more deaths related to high school football than guns. In a recent three year period, twice as many football players died from hits to the head, heat stroke, etc. (45), as compared with students who were murdered by firearms (22) during that same time period.1...children are at a 2,000 percent greater risk from the car in their driveway, than they are by the gun in their parents' closet. 2.Children are almost 7 times more likely to drown than to be shot, and they are 130 percent more likely to die from choking on their dinner."

Okay - I'm starting to learn more about guns...

- there is a quote I learned from a friend.
"There are lies, there are damn lies, and there are statistics!"

This is from a web site called Gunowners.Org...
Do I take them at face value *or* do I say... well of course they are going to find these statisics in favor of guns because... THEY ARE GUN OWNERS!
Now they got their facts(?) from

1."The University of North Carolina conducts yearly surveys to determine the number of high school football fatalities. See David Williamson, "New study finds 18 football players died in 1999 season, eight paralyzed," University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (August 14, 2000) at http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/unc-nsf081100.html. For school firearms deaths, see Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, "School Associated Violent Deaths," The National School Safety Center Report (September 22, 2000) at http://www.NSSC1.org.

2.National Safety Council, Injury Facts: 2000 Edition, p. 10, 11, 18.

The first one was in 1999... this is 2005. *hummmmm* I'm going to have to do more looking maybe I could call some people....?
