Good Information Here

Ahab has found us a good site when you run across folks making outlandish mortality claims when talking about guns.

I'm going to use this stuff, I guarantee.

UPDATE: More (lots more)links in comments provided by JohnS. Thanks!

Add these to your list:
US

And poke around inside those links - lots of data gets ignored or misrepresented, and providing the original unvarnished info is definitely preferable to guessing.
