Ten times as many people (per capita) die of gun shot wounds in the US than in any other developed nation.
Yes, and far more people are saved by guns than are killed by guns...
gun murders each year...10-12 thousand....mostly from inner city gangs
lives saved by guns and crimes stopped by guns each year...2.5 million ( as found in one of the most accurate studies on gun violence by Dr. Gary Kleck...keeping in mind that there are at least 19 separate studies conducted over 40 years, of guns used for self defense, and the lowest number on the gun studies is 500,000 and that comes from the obama CDC study in 2013 while most other studies put the lowest number at 760,000 times guns are used to save lives and stop violent crime)
Soooo 10-12,000 gun murders a year vs. 760,000 times guns are used to save lives and stop violent crime...
You tell me...which number is bigger....?
