I read that a person has a 95% chance of surviving a gun shot wound, unless it is a direct shot to the heart. I'll bet most gun control advocates AND gun owners thought guns were much more lethal than a 5% kill rate. Kind of shows the hyperbole and prejudice the media has built around the subject of guns and gun control. And, of course, this doesn't include the many, many non-lethal self defense uses of just presenting a gun.
