The project is divided into 3 sections (brought up by placing cursor over "gunbuster" signs); Video, photography and the written word.

Quote (in video) by Neil Durrance (Chair, Denton County Democrats):
"86% of all uses of a firearm for self protection happen within three feet. And of that 86%, 78% of the first time you fire a shot, it's a miss."
Any of our Democrat members out there
(or anybuddy else) got the backup for this gentleman's statistics?

If you gave 100 blind folks a gun and had them shoot a target - 78 of them wouldnt miss from 3 feet -- he should have said "yards" -anyways..... take away guns and we might as well wear our wallets on the outside of our pants... If I was a criminal (predator) I would go for the weakest "prey"... No Guns = More Rape, More Assaults, More Robbery... its not like you are going to "duke it out" with the bad guy.. he has a gun - you don't..
