An interesting argument and an interesting statistic.

We've also seen statistics posted recently listing the number of handgun-
related deaths per year in the U.S. and in various nations with handgun
control laws.  It would also be interesting to see the non-handgun-related
homicide statistics for those same countries.  Does anyone have them handy,
or know where I can look them up?
