This is all over talk radio today, so I decided to bring it back to life. Anyone following this ordeal?

Freakonomics
One of our sales reps swung by yesterday to check some projectors his companies install guys put in, and he was carrying this book, Freakonomics with him.
It is written by a journalist who researches the stats and poses real questions. He addresses things like people irrational fears, the one of interest being guns.
He does the children deaths from pools vs guns scenario, as well as others. (ie only 5 children have died from air bag deaths in a car seat, yet EVERY new car has that on/off switch for passenger air bags).
He said it was well written and I plan on reading it. Not sure where he stands on 2A but it seems like he lets the numbers speak for themselves.
