democrat media finally discovered...more Americans bought guns, our accidental gun deaths went down

[2aguy]

Yep.....the democrat press has finally realized that more guns does not mean more gun accidental death......in fact, if we had gun safety education in public schools, even the already low number would be lower...

Don't tell anybody, but accidental shooting deaths are way down - Hot Air

While the cause for this is being debated along ideological lines, the LA Times reports that the numbers are nothing but good news, not that you’re hearing about it on the major news networks.


Gun violence has received no shortage of attention. But one bright spot has gotten much less: the number of accidental shooting deaths has steadily declined.

There were 489 people killed in unintentional shootings in the U.S. in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available. That was down from 824 deaths in 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Taking into account population growth over that time, the rate fell 48%.

Experts attribute the decline to a mix of gun safety education programs, state laws regulating gun storage in homes and a drop in the number of households that have guns. While the improvement occurred in every state, those with the most guns and the fewest laws continue to have the most accidental shooting deaths.

We’re talking about the period between 1999 and 2015. So basically, in a roughly fifteen-year span, the number of accidental shooting deaths has been cut in half. Do we really need to bother with arguing over whywhen you see that sort of a headline? Well… yes, for two reasons. One is so that we can replicate the success across the board using the same methods. Sadly, the other is to make sure that people aren’t incorrectly claiming victory as an excuse to push their agenda. But what was the real cause here?

You hit them where it hurts. They are even going as far as claiming the media is not leftist.

Fucking commie swine. They need to just be thrown in prison and the key thrown away. It should be illegal to spout the bs lies they spout.

Twit.....what homes did these kids come from...? That is the biggest factor since you guys always claim these kids are killed by guns in normal homes...when actual research shows their homes have felons who can't legally own guns in them......which is the biggest problem, not the gun....

And they are morons...we went from 320 million guns in private hands to close to 600 million guns in private hands in that time period...and even if they are accurate......280 million more guns, and 60 accidental deaths...do you morons even realize how small that number is?

Wow.....how do you guys dress and feed yourselves without help?

Doofus.......here is Wisqars....the CDC...so you see a fucking problem with the data from that study...considering the final numbers for the actual CDC data?

Do you see how stupid you are for believing anti gunners?


Leading Causes of Death | WISQARS | Injury Center | CDC

Accidental gun deaths 2012.....548

2013.....505

2014......461

Accidental gun deaths 2015.....489
========================

The actual Data from the CDC, Wisqars shows the study is lying....


Leading Causes of Death | WISQARS | Injury Center | CDC

Accidental gun deaths 2012.....548

2013.....505

2014......461

Accidental gun deaths 2015.....489

One.....safe storage laws do not decrease accidents. Two...gun ownership has not gone down, gun owners answering polls on gun ownership has gone down while minority and women gun ownership is going up...two groups that are growth areas for gun ownership....

Doesn't matter.....we have guns, we will have accidents.....Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminals, the British violent crime rate is going up.....

This shows that guns in the hands of Americans saved far more lives...but you don't care about lives saved, only bodies you can exploit....

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...


-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Yeah....no....

Critics see flaws
But the paper is drawing criticism from some researchers. “This study of a single mass shooting and a single type of gun violence amounts to little more than a statistical anecdote,” wrote Gary Kleck, a criminologist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, to Science.

“Notwithstanding its prestigious outlet, this paper is junk science, and should never have been published.”

In particular, Kleck finds the statistical associations implausible. He notes that the 3 million additional guns sold between December 2012 and April 2013 amounted to an increase of about 1% in a private U.S. arsenal that already totals roughly 300 million guns.

That it should lead to a 27% increase in accidental firearm deaths and a 64% increase among children is “astounding,” he wrote.

Guns have been used 100 MILLION times to stop violent criminals in my lifetime but I don`t know of 1 single person who has done so. Not one. ZERO! Do you realize how idiotic your claim is?

Yeah I know, and I told him. He had no response.

Now watch, he'll post it again expecting different results.

 

[Old Rocks]

58 dead, 500 injured. One shooting with the weapons that the crazies have a vast preference for. Five officers and two civilians shot in Denver last week. Yep, what we need is more guns on the street.
