Good work and welll written. Did anyone notice that "elcid" guy and "gsnorris" posting random anti crap in the comments?

glad it got in.
Great job! One thing I would like to be able to determine is the 3 "murders" committed with a rifle were murders or a homeowner defending themselves. It was either this year or last year that someone was killed with a rifle by a homeowner in PG county. It was considered self defense, but I believe there was reference to how that death by rifle would be counted as a murder by rifle in the crime statistics. It would be interesting if there were a way to further decompose the FBI statistics to determine how many of the deaths by rifle and pistol were ruled self defense.
Great job on the article!
