There is a new lie being tossed out by anti civil rights types.....they are feeding off of a British article claiming that more American lives have been lost to "gun deaths" than have died in all of our wars. This is a lie. They take suicides and lump them in with gun murder.....knowingly, and so untruthfully make that claim.
For suicide...keep in mind that countries with absolute gun control...Japan, South Korea....where only criminals and cops have guns.....have higher suicide rates than we do.
Also, our non gun suicide rate is about the same as our gun suicide rate, and for the last two years...our non gun suicide rate ( 2014 and 2015) was higher than our gun suicide rate.
Now for the actual truth....
According to bill clinton's Department of Justice, doing research into gun self defense......
Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminal attack and to save lives...
This research was supported by barak obama when he had the Centers for Disease control in 2013 examine all research on firearms...they found that Americans use guns between 500,000-3,000,000 times a year...
The 50 year timeline that the British left journalist uses to lie about gun deaths...
Over 50 years, Americans have used guns 75 million times to stop rapes, robberies and murders...which means that more lives have been saved by American civilians using their legal guns...than have been taken by criminals using illegal guns........
1,500,000 X 50 = 75,000,000 lives saved by Armed American Civilians.
For suicide...keep in mind that countries with absolute gun control...Japan, South Korea....where only criminals and cops have guns.....have higher suicide rates than we do.
Also, our non gun suicide rate is about the same as our gun suicide rate, and for the last two years...our non gun suicide rate ( 2014 and 2015) was higher than our gun suicide rate.
