This is why America needs to be more strict about gun control. This was Americas statistics for gun related incidents last year. They like to coin the phrase “its our 2nd amendment and we need to protect ourselves from a corrupt goverment.” Instead of worrying about the government they need to worry about themselves and fellow citizens because these guns that they all have seem to be killing more citizens then their worries about a corrupt government.

Oooh!  Numbers!  Neat.  I like numbers.  Here’s some more for you.

There are over 370 MILLION legally owned guns in America.  If we factor in illegal black markets, that number easily rises to well over half of a BILLION.  Even if we just focus on legally owned guns in America we still see over 370,000,000 guns versus, by your numbers, 13,404 gun deaths.  This means that literally over 99.996% of the guns in this country weren’t used to kill anyone at all whatsoever.

Secondly, the “over 300 mass shootings in 2015″ claim is complete bullshit.

Next, despite what anti-gun propaganda would like to have you believe, actually being the victim of gun violence is incredibly low.

Chances of being shot or killed based on firearm deaths and population count:

Death by gun, suicide excluded:
0.0032%

Death by gun, suicide included:
0.0095%

Death in a mass shooting alone:
0.000032%

Injury by gun, no death:
0.024%

Death of injury by gun including suicide:
0.033%

Not exactly the high numbers that one would associate with a so called “epidemic”.

Gun deaths and injuries based off general stats used by anti gun people, rather than exact numbers from each year because its faster and easier to do. Going by exact yearly figures would result in very little change to the average numbers used above.

Guns compared to other ways you can die:

Unintentional fall deaths:

• Number of deaths: 26,009
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 8.4

Motor vehicle traffic deaths:

• Number of deaths: 33,687
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.9

Unintentional poisoning deaths:

• Number of deaths: 33,041
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.7

All poisoning deaths:

• Number of deaths: 42,917
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 13.9

All Drug poisoning deaths:

• Deaths per 100,000 population: 12.4 (2010)

All firearm deaths (suicide included):

• Number of deaths: 31,672
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.3

All firearms deaths (suicide excluded):

• Number of deaths: 12,664
  
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 3.6

Firearm deaths broken down completely:

3.6 for homicide
6.3 for suicide
0.30 for unintentional
0.10 undetermined

10.3 for deaths total in general of 3.6 for homicide only. You are more likely to trip and die than be killed by a gun.

This chart shows incidents that cause death stacked up against gun crime. Quite obviously gun crime is practically nothing when compared to ALL other causes of deaths on BOTH graphs. Even fucking suicide has more deaths than firearm homicides (that is, if you aren’t counting fatalities due to being fat as suicide).

Drugs, especially alcohol, cause MANY more deaths than crimes involving firearms, yet I don’t see many anti-gunners moving to ban alcohol or other drugs, or trying to ban baseball bats, or McDonald’s.

I could go on if you would like.  It would be my pleasure to help you “wake up and learn something”.

Wow. You learn something new everyday
