Re: A second call for help – this time from John Welch
I quickly scanned a few web sites and most of the stats or studies out there is corrupted by the filth from GFSA and partners. We REALLY need to get our own research branch of the ground as a matter of urgency. GOSA has the social media networks and SAGA the financial structure and Gunsite a lot of willing donors, for short term and long term we need to get this going.

Re: A second call for help – this time from John Welch
One of the categories which needs specific attention is home and business robbery. These two have increased exponentially since 2004. I've battled to find the figures I had last year but my recollection is that these were decreasing up to 2004, then swung hugely.
Although everyone talks homicide (where the trends favour us again), home and business robberies show how empowered criminals feel that they can come into out inner sanctums and pillage almost at will.
Stats for rape are relatively constant and perhaps even increasing. Thus there certainly has been no net benefit for the safety of our women either.
See http://www.crimestatssa.com/national.php
Unfortunately these only go back to 2004, and we need to preceding 5 years very badly.

WZ
Whoever is doing the stats should also check out www.Gunpolicy.org - some good stats there for us and has 1994 homicide rates there too.

WZ - how about Ivo Vegter? He crunches numbers and has a prominent media profile?
He wrote the piece:

Re: A second call for help – this time from John Welch
Yes GFSA do, and some of the stats are not so good for them. Like suicides for example - higher in 2008 than 1999 yet a pillar upon which GFSA rests is suicide being facilitated by gun ownership.
Interestingly, in the accidental gun death column at the height of legal gun ownership - 1999 - this is listed as being 9. I think a lot more than 9 got struck by lightning that year...
