Quote:No, exactly right.  Alaska doesn't have a population of 0 million.  They have a population of .736 million.

 

.736 * 204 = 150.144

7.36 * 20.4 = 150.144

 

LOL.  We can do this all afternoon.  I used rounding, you didn't.  What does the raw data state?

 

You just clarified my point that you can make statistics say whatever you want.

 

In the end, what is the reasonable and sensible thing to do?  Do we "take guns away" from people?  Do we "outlaw" certain weapons?  Or do we actually look at why events like this happen, find the cause and fix that?

 

What makes a young man single out people of a certain faith to kill them?  What made him pick that particular faith?  Why did he choose that particular place?  Perhaps those are the issues that should be addressed rather than the gun issue.  It's not the gun that did this, it's the person behind it.
