2/3 of firearms deaths are suicides, and are therefore not relevant. I notice you left out that statistic. That's typical snowflake behavior: ignoring anything that doesn't support the narrative.33.000 firearms related deaths, on average 2012-14......Public is NOT unaware of the drop in the crime rates....is is occasionally confused by your efforts at propaganda.He did it to advance his gun control agenda. He wanted to use the ensuing mayhem to justify an assault on the 2nd Amendment.
That's ^^^ stupid, even from you when stupid is expected.
We have plenty of mayhem to justify gun controls. Every day in fact bodies testify. Of course fools - like you, or liars, like you - claim millions of lives and property are protected by guns, every day. No evidence of probity has ever been offered, but that doesn't stop the echo of this meme.
And you lie....we have shown over and over that guns in the hands of Americans actually lowers the crime rate....if actual numbers mean anything......
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400 million guns in private hands and over 15 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2016...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
That said, guns kill far more people every year than all illegal drugs combined....
Wrong......just wrong...
Did you even look into this before you posted.....
gun murder in 2015...
10,616
Accidental gun deaths 2015
489
Now tell us how many died from illegal drugs....
The Moonie Times claims 20,000 from Illegal Drugs in 2015.....you got to read a bit before they admit that nearly half are from synthetic opiods.....which are NOT "Illegal Drugs"
The mounting death toll from illicit drugs
