<chuckle> None of Krygowski's cites showed evidence that anyone died
of even got shot for no other reason than that there was a gun in the
house. IOW, they dishonestly and ignorantly claimed that simple
correlation implied causation, ignoring any other extenuating
conditions. Krygowski, of course, nodded his approval of the
fallacious nonsense.

Some people think and do what they're told to think and do by people
they have chosen to tell them what to think and do. The anti-assault
rifle loonies are examples of that.
