  what I said was...

No, what you said you preceded with "My understanding( is that research shows* that...", acknowledging that you hadn't actually done the research.

  The raw data speaks for itself

Then why won't you present any? Why can't you support this claim you keep repeating?

   accidental gun injury or death is sadly commonplace

Nobody has questioned that.

dude, c'mon :|

The data I've presented:

- Nationwide (USA), there are about 100 burglary-homicides every year.

- In 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of 606 people

Feel free to confirm the figures for yourself.

As a criminologist you should be on top of this kind of info ;)

Here it is for you:

From the FBI[1]:

2013: Total Murders 12,253, during burglary: 94

From the CDC[2]:

2013: 505 deaths due to accidental/negligent discharge of a firearm + 281 deaths due to firearms-use with "undetermined intent"
