Lott's "study" is no more statistically sound that my laypersons typing of

More guns = more gun deaths.

or the majority of gun deaths are caused by gun shots.

His stats are suspect, and his analysis weak.
I bet I can find more evidence for my equation. I'll see what I can find. Meantime:

The flaw with your example is that the objects you cite have uses other than causing death. That is what a gun is for. If is doesnt kill, its not effective. If youre not ready to use it to kill, dont own it. right?
