If it helps anyone here, I blogged about this last year; Rising Tides Submersing Kiribati http://is.gd/fhE6M

On this mornings news report of the incident at Virginia Tech (ABC Radio Sydney Australia) the reporter interviewed an American statistical professional (didn't catch his name) quoted that "in an average USA year there are 32,000 gun related deaths". Just wonder how many of those people were innocent victims and what the stat on that is that weren't able to defend themselves with a gun ?
