Ubi,
1. I was referring to the easy of obtaining a gun (for a law-abiding citizen – criminals have no problem).
2. There is also a direct correlation between car ownership and fatal accidents. Should cars be banned?
3. Darrell Huff wrote a book called How to Lie with Statistics, which is available on PDF. One good way is to not count other factors. Chazal, in fact, discuss this regarding why a boy who climbed a tree to send away the mother bird at his father’s command fell and died (e.g. perhaps he thought about worshiping idols).
