GSD IMO is trying to point out all the multiple people killed by guns etc. in a certain time frame.
Mindhunt IMO is trying to point out that in that same time frame hundreds of thousands of lives were saved by legal gun owners defending themselves.
One is pointing out perceived negatives.
One is pointing out perceived postitives of the gun.

That is my point. And that is exactly why the NRA and most gun owners are pissed.
Isolate & regulate the problem and I'm all for it.
