100,000 people shot in the US per year! Good guy saving lives?

[KissMy]

Sounds like a Saturday in Chicago.

More Fake Trump / Fox News! - Chicago doesn't even rank in the top 15 large cities gun murder rate.

I like how they talk about Chicago, and New Orleans.....both have been controlled by democrats for generations.....

Trump & Fox News talk about Chicago every day!

Here in St Louis we have for 15 years allowed anyone except mental ill & non-violent criminal to CCW anywhere. We have 7.5 times more people shot than Chicago. We have more police per capita of any city in the USA except D.C. & we have 3rd highest crime rate.

Yeah...again...democrat policies.....

So you are saying that law abiding gun owners carrying guns for self defense is driving your gun murder rate? That is what you are spewing....?

How about the truth....a lack of police, politically correct crap attacking the cops...that is what drives the crime rate there...

Rise in Murders Has St. Louis Debating Why

Jennifer M. Joyce, the city’s circuit attorney, or prosecutor, an elected position, complains that in St. Louis, the illegal possession of a gun is too often “a crime without a consequence,” making it difficult to stop confrontation from turning lethal.

At the same time, deeper social roots of violence such as addiction and unemployment continue unchecked. And city officials also cite what they call a “Ferguson effect,” an increase in crime last year as police officers were diverted to control protests after a white officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in the nearby suburb on Aug. 9.

-----------

Now, an overstretched department is forced to pick one neighborhood at a time to flood with officers. Last month, Chief Dotson even asked the state highway patrol if it could lend a dozen men to help watch downtown streets; the agency declined.
------

City officials are calling for the hiring of 160 more officers, with a special effort to bring more minority officers onto a 1,255-member force that is 35 percent black. In 2012, with crime in apparent decline, the city let the police force shrink by 80 officers.

-------

When the police discover a gun in a car with several passengers, including some with felony records, but no one admits to owning the gun, criminal charges are often impossible, Mr. Rosenfeld said.

In addition, according to a 2014 study by Mr. Rosenfeld and his colleagues, a majority of those who are convicted of illegally possessing a gun but not caught using it in a crime receive probation rather than jail time. Gun laws and enforcement are stiffer in many other cities.

You Spew Nothing But Lies!

Fact: St. Louis has the MOST Police per resident.

Fact: Crime was up for 12 years before Ferguson that was only 2 years ago.

Fact: Un-prosecuted gun crime was a problem that was fixed 2 years ago with new Gun Court.

Fact: St. Louis unemployment rate is near lowest in the country.

Its INEVITABLE.........Tell gun-nuts that the sale of military-style weapons should be drastically curtailed.......and they stupidly revert to "ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE ALL MY GUNS AWAY???'

Americans are DOOMED to continue with these mass shootings with crazy bastards trying to outdo previous crazy bastards' number of dead.

Listen carefully.

CIVILIANS CANNOT BUY MILITARY WEAPONS

 

[nat4900]

Listen carefully.

CIVILIANS CANNOT BUY MILITARY WEAPONS

Have someone read this fucking quote to you........

"Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47,” the Stoner family told NBC News...... "He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events."

This rifle

Is no different from this rifle

Neither of them is a military rifle

Don't be an eternal asshole........The name CHANGED, but the fucking weapon is virtually the same in how lethal it can be.

Anything can be lethal.

In fact more people are killed with knives every year than with all rifles combined.

More people are beaten to death with bare hands than are killed with all rifles combined

So in all reality fists are more lethal than rifles.

The ignorance of the white rubes is hilarious.
Just keep spewing Chicago.

I think Memphis is the leader plus other confederate citiEs
They do have foul mouths though.
Can't communicate w/o a fuxx
Must go down well with the rube women

Moron.....it looks like Memphis has had democrat mayors going back as far as 1968...and those are only the ones that are easy to find the political affiliation.....dittos New Orleans, and Baton Rouge, and Chicago, Baltimore and D.C...the cities driving the gun murder rate....

List of mayors of Memphis, Tennessee - Wikipedia

Usual 2 nd grade insult from a 1960s socialist benefits guy who doesn't know the difference between an adjective and a noun.
You all brag about red states.
Most of the confederates have repub governors.
Oh I see it's the uppity nixxers and the mayors

It's called guns darlin, not rifles. I hear more people are killed falling out of their bathtub.
Such stupidity, it's the guns genius
A 2 yr old shot in philly this weekend.

And the 26 people whose lives were saved by an AR-15 civilian rifle at the Texas church...and however many were saved when that AR-15 rifle stopped the attacker....dead.....long before the police arrived.....

(CNN) Devin Patrick Kelley, the gunman who killed 26 people at a Texas Baptist church, suffered three gunshot wounds, including a self-inflicted shot to the head,

At the end......he was stopped from murdering the 26 wounded survivors when the NRA instructor with the AR-15 civilian rifle shot him twice......he then drove off, and as the NRA instructor was about to capture him using his AR-15 civilian rifle, he committed suicide.....then....a long time after that, the police finally arrived...

More bile, he was fleeing and out of the church when the guys noticed him when he was shot genius.
And how many baddies have you fought off with your arsenal?
zERO as usual

 

[ph3iron]

The first is data for deaths by guns, which is included in an annual report about deaths of all types during calendar year 2009. The numbers for gun deaths is broken down into several categories:

Suicide: 18,735 deaths
Homicide: 11,493 deaths
Unintentional: 554 deaths
Legal interventions: 333 deaths
Undetermined: 232 deaths

Total: 31,347 deaths

The second data set tracks non-fatal injuries by guns. According to the CDC, there were 73,505 non-fatal firearm injuries in 2010. (We will ignore an additional 13,851 non-fatal injuries from BB or pellet guns.)

How accurate is the Facebook post?

If you add together the gun deaths and the non-fatal gun injuries, you get 104,852 people shot in a year. That’s very close to the 1000,000 the Facebook post said.

------------------------------------------------------------ so 18 thousand suiciders , they don't count as they'll just kill themselves in a different fashion . Legal interventions are also cool and don't count and non fatal doesn't count either . All in ALL thats pretty good for a country of 330 million of all sorts in the USA . How many die yearly traveling Americas highways and byways Kiss .

Non fatal doesn't count? Imagine the medical bills. How many cripples created?

------------------------------------------------ such is life , pay the bill if you shoot yourself or your kid or other in a gun accident Brian .

Plenty of crime victims being shot too. Big strain on our health system.

And the Americans who use their guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminals save a lot more money for our healthcare system....because they aren't put in the hospital by violent criminals....

You have a link to 1500000?

There are different kinds of guns, Honey Pie.

If you bothered paying attention to the various discussions about guns you would have noticed the hoopla is all about so called assault rifles.

And parents kill their kids in all kinds of ways.

The Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council released the results of their research through the CDC last month. Researchers compiled data from previous studies in order to guide future research on gun violence, noting that “almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year.”

NO ONE is calling for the banning of ALL guns....our country is too invested in the macho image......BUT, sane folks SHOULD call for the banning of military-style, assault weapons with extensive ammo clips whose ONLY purpose is to kill as many people as possible in the shortest number of minutes.....

All that you gun nuts are doing is FACILITATING murderous wackos' jobs for them.

As who grew up in no guns country, we say ban all....we know what's it like to live in peace.

What country would that be?

Morocco baby gun free, lived there for 23 Yeats 0 mass shootings and our news have 0 gun crimes or killed people due to guns. Last incident was gang related 1 killed and the gangsters from Holland of Dominican origins were arreted few hours later. And people still in shock there was a gun in the country LOL

Repubtards claim crime exploded in England without guns.

Crime rate in England and Wales falls 7% to lowest level since 1981

‘So think about 10 or 15 people, who are weekend shooters with limited tactical training, deciding to shoot it out with a criminal in a crowded office holiday party, a medical clinic or a darkened theater, while people are screaming and running, and no one knows who or how many of the people shooting are the “good guys” and how many of them are the “bad guys.”

In some cases, can a “good guy” with a gun neutralize the threat and help save lives? Absolutely. But it doesn’t happen very often. It is, for the most part, a myth perpetuated by people who’ve never been shot at.

I am a proud Navy combat veteran. I risked and nearly gave my life in dozens of combat situations in defense of our Constitution. I value the Second Amendment and the right of responsible Americans to own guns for self-defense.

But people need to know that it is a fallacy to believe that the everyday gun owner can be expected to make all the right choices in a dangerous, fast-moving situation like a mass shooting with high-powered weapons.’

The 'good guy with a gun' myth

Citizens have the right to carry concealed firearms pursuant to lawful self-defense – not to act in the capacity of ‘law enforcement,’ or to otherwise ‘fight crime.’

‘Good guy with a gun’ is in fact a ridiculous rightwing myth.

You're a damned liar, I have the right to defend my life or the lives of others. I alone am responsible for my actions. You can do your second guessing after the fight, not before.
