...
I present you evidence that the average reduction is 25% and you reply by saying they wouldn't work to reduce the numbers by 25%?
...
Oh, and yes, I agree with your hypothesis that less guns results in less gun deaths.

What specifically makes you skeptical?
"This estimate was based on within-state comparisons adjusted for national trends in unintentional firearm-related mortality."
They adjusted for the preexisting drops, bro.

Yes, yes, we know you're a special snowflake. Now we know you take issue with a study not because you have any reason to, or not to, but because it disagrees with your opinions. This study specifically states it takes into account the general trends and adjusts for them.
600 kids dying isn't some small deal. What is wrong with you? Cutting that to 400 kids is worth far more than the national cost of forcing people to buy and use a f**k gun safe. Do you have any idea how much it costs to provide health care to gunshot victims?
As for gun safety education, getting a license for any gun in Canada requires you to take a substantial safety class. I am all for that too.
