Sorry, you are correct. But to clarify for those who don't care to click the link, the statistics themselves are from the National Center for Health, part of the CDC. So about as unbiased as one could reasonably expect without working through the numbers yourself.

Actually the number is about 4-5x times that. I am remembering 14,000, but you can find a breakdown on the NRA site (http://www.vpc.org/nrainfo/phil.html): 11,920 firearms homicides in the USA in 2003.

Well, I am not trying to get work as a screenwriter in Hollywood, am I? Grammar Nazis.

Aye. And while I know nothing about your writing skills, I am absolutely confident that you would do better than Travis Wright, based upon his work from Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye was a giant steaming pile of garbage with virtually nothing to recommend it in any respect. The dialogue was terrible, and the plot worse. Travis Wright should be locked up and never allowed access to a pen, computer, pencil, crayons, or anything else that he might use to right with ever again.
