Sorry, folks, If you will go to Urban Legends site, www.snopes.com, you will find that this is not really true. I firmly believe that if the statistics were done correctly, it would probably be closer than not to the what this email says. That is why there are citizens in this county that are fighting gun control so actively. You let the government take away one right and the next time it becomes more.

My gggggrandfather, John Martin White fought in the American Revolution to help secure that right, as I'm sure you White ancestors in this country also did. Jean W. Pace Texas
