"Firearm related deaths" would be an acceptable way of labeling it, but you know as well as I do that's not what our media and politicians do. They play it off as though those 30,000 deaths per year are random murders and they NEVER mention the actual breakdown.
I agree with you on that. This is why I say it's the center of the political spectrum that needs to try to work together for reasonable restrictions. The breakdown is important and should be used properly, as well as separating out the suicide statistics into a different category.
As it works now there is just too much extremist views being shouted back and forth. It gains nothing and just keeps the bitterness going.There is no solution that will ever stop all of these crimes from happening, but that shouldn't be a reason for not trying to prevent some of them is it?
