Numerical Gymnastics

From ABCNews online:
In two separate incidents, kids are accused of accidentally shooting other kids. Why are so many children getting their hands on guns and what can be done about it?


Two kids is "so many?" Granted, it's two too many, but they make it sound like half the kids in elementary school are packing heat.

And if you want to look at statistics, there are about as many people in my town as there are US soldiers in Iraq. Census statistics indicate that we averaged about 1050 deaths per year between 2000 and 2005. Is it more dangerous to live here than in Iraq?
