Do you have access to any independent studies of this?  I've heard 
things like this; but, I've never seen any evidence that there's
a large bias.  Yes, I've seen the propoganda of the gun control 
fanatics and the, equally fanatic, gun freedom fanatics.  But, I'm 
looking for a study carried out by a neutral party... or a party
that at least claims neutrality like the AMA or the surgeon general
or somesuch.
