... anti-gun voices in the media love to lump all gun deaths into one big bucket. They want as big of a number as possible to scare people with. You can’t do that with just the homicide numbers.
So, suicides it is.
Yes, these are all “gun deaths” if you just want the total of people who were killed due to a gunshot. For many people, though, that’s all that matters. ...
Then change the perspective to good guys with a gun and how many times were bad guys gun met with a good guy’s gun where no shots were fired. Experts suggest over one million people a year.
The "where no shots were fired" factor highlights something I never hear talked about: Having a gun is often the only NON-VIOLENT way to end a potentially deadly (or otherwise violent) confrontation.
Sounds like it'd be a leftist talking point, if their brains were in gear . . .
I wonder how many of those gun deaths were actually ciminals that needed shot? How many were criminals murder someone that was unarmed?
They won't touch those statistics.
