When will you ever realize everything I post is true?

The numbers back up Biden’s claim. In a span of half a year, there were more than 5,000 gun fatalities in the United States. In a dozen years, fewer than half that number of Americans died in the war in Afghanistan. Biden also referred to Iraq. Deaths there reached 4,422, according to the Pentagon. That’s higher, but still less than fatalities due to firearms in America since mid December, 2012.


To get a longer term view of firearm fatalities in America, we went to a database run by the Centers for Disease Control. There we learned that between 2001 and 2010, the rate was .103 per 1,000. That’s higher than the rate since Newtown but still 25 times smaller than for the Afghanistan war.

Lastly, it’s important to note that one expects deaths in a war zone. The gun deaths in the United States represent deaths during peacetime.

Biden said America has lost more people to guns since Newtown than it has in the war in Afghanistan. He is correct that more than twice as many people died in the past six months as did in 12 years of fighting. We rate his statement True.

Newtown was a long time ago, death is a part of life, find closure.
Shut up about it.
 
I have a couple of questions for Biden.

Why are we still losing people in Afghanistan?

How can you claim to be so concerned about human life when you support the killing of American soldiers in a war that was lost long ago?

In fact, your administration now seeks to pour untold amounts of military weapons and guns into Syria against the wishes of the Syrian people, and in support of the same organization that supposedly was behind 9/11?
 
more kids have fallen into pools than got shot by guns.

more people have died in car accidents than by guns

more people have probably choked and died by eating food than died by guns.

you are fear mongering. the amount of people that die by school shootings is absolutely negligible. Stop using the excuse of a school shooting for your tyrannical agenda.

Grindage what would you call a country with an exponentially lower murder rate?

what would you call the fact that gun violence does not correlate to gun ownership?

We are number 1 in guns in the world, but strangely enough we are not number 1 in gun violence per capita.

The areas with the most guns in this country are among the lowest for crime. Liberal paradises with lots of gun control like chicago or Washington D.C. are rife with gun problems.

What would you call yourself being against prohibition for drugs because you recognize it doesn't work, but then turn around and use that same argument for guns?

Stop the kneejerk gun hate. The problem has always been the people behind them. The true issue is a cultural one, not a gun one.

Die by drowning:
From 2005-2009, there were an average of 3,533 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day. An additional 347 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents

That's fewer than have died from guns since Newtown. http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/water-safety/waterinjuries-factsheet.html

Car crashes -about 30,000 to 40,000 a year; http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/water-safety/waterinjuries-factsheet.html

That's more than guns, but cars have a purpose besides killing people.

choking - about 2,500 a year; not close to guns
