NPR:
"Gun suicides claim far more lives than any of those other issues. Suicides from guns make up nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths in the United States, and they overwhelmingly affect white men."

** Report Finds Suicides Are Even More Common Than Gun Homicides


Yes, you read that right - Again, that was - 2/3rds of all gun deaths in the US are not 'Murders' but are SUICIDE and those deaths involve more WHITE men than anyone else.




3. BLACKS ARE 14 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE SHOT / KILLED

Despite Suicides - mostly involving white males - accounting for 2/3rds of the gun deaths in the US, of the remaining 1/3rd Black men are 14 times more likely than non-hispanic white men to be shot and killed with guns. Also, Black Americans make up 14 percent of the U.S. population but are victims of more than half of all gun homicides.

Why, are you questioning the 'Democratic-Process," Easy? The Democrats aren't after fixing any problems! In most cases, they are the CAUSE of the problem! They either admit they are total imbeciles clueless of the facts or they don't want to HEAR the facts! You know, just like EVERY FREEKING Progressive-Leftist on this board! They all go OUT OF THEIR WAY to avoid the truth, it is all a game to them, and if the Dems could find a lower cause of murder than assault rifles or bump-stopped semis, say, intentional forced choking on Swiss cheese, they would opt for that as the #1 issue plaguing the USA today demanding immediate action by the Congress.

Bottom line: the entire Congress has become a farce by do-nothing idiots because when they DO do something, it is TERRIBLE! So they gave up half their powers to the President under Obama, now sorry for doing it because of Trump.
