The next report he commissions will be "Unarmed Victims Less Likely to Harm Attackers" because you know, we just have to protect everyone from the dangers posed by firearms, including criminals.

Bill: "Did you pass along that late-published copy of the CDC study I commissioned? You know, the one that came out - which I stifled till after we'd left - that indicated no correlation between more gun control and any decline in violence?"

Hillary: "No, it completely slipped my mind; besides it hadn't been fully staffed with sign-off on all the talking points."

Bill: "It was already published! I gave it to you last night; he might need that. Will you at least have a courier run it over?

Hillary: "Hey! I just took a sleeping pill. Besides, it's his show and no one around here's been taking 3:00 a.m. calls anyway. What, at this point, does it matter?"

The report also noted that most firearm violence does not result in death.

In 2010, for example, some 105,000 Americans where injured or killed by guns, but more than two times as many suffered nonfatal wounds as those who were killed.

Most deaths from guns were the result of suicide, not homicide.

"Between the years 2000 and 2010, firearm-related suicides significantly outnumbered homicides for all age groups, annually accounting for 61 percent of the more than 335,600 people who died from firearm-related violence in the United States," the report said.

The report also noted that most felons get their guns from what researchers described as "informal sources," and that stolen guns account for a small percentage of those used by convicted criminals.

Stay safe.
