I would not doubt if 99% of the people that they had in their "analysed shootings" were from gangs.

They said, "Supporters of the Second Amendment shouldn't worry that the right to bear arms is under threat, however. "We don't have an answer as to whether guns are protective or perilous," Branas says. "This study is a beginning."

Good point, Joke. You're probably exactly right and the kind of research they're doing is self serving. It's like going to church to take a survey on how many people believe in god or going to a bowling alley to ask how many people like bowling! If you just check police reports to find out how many victims were armed, you're going to get into murky water.
