I think your "proof" has been the victim of handgun violence. It's been shot full of holes for the bullshit it is every time you've pulled it out. But never one to be daunted by real fact, Chriskirk posts the same old shit once again.
Dude, your act is as old and stale as Methuselah.
Fatal Firearm Injuries in the United States, 1962-1994
Violence Surveillance Summary Series, No. 3
Executive Summary
Death due to injuries from firearms is an increasingly important public health problem. As a group, injuries from firearms were the ninth leading cause of death overall in 1994 and the fourth leading cause of years of potential life lost before age 65 (NCIPC, unpublished data). During the 33-year period covered by this report, the total number of firearm deaths increased by 130%, from 16,720 in 1962 to 38,505 in 1994. If present trends continue, firearm-related injuries could become the leading cause of deaths attributed to injury by the year 2003, surpassing injuries due to motor vehicle crashes.
This report reviews the descriptive epidemiology of firearm-related mortality in the United States from 1962-1994. The patterns of overall firearm-related mortality and of homicide, suicide, unintentional death, deaths occurring during legal intervention, and deaths of undetermined intent are examined by race, sex, and age group.
Throughout the 33-year period, suicide and homicide were responsible for most firearm fatalities; they accounted for 94% of the total in 1994. The fluctuations and overall increase in rates of total firearm-related mortality most closely resembled the pattern of firearm-related homicide. Although suicide rates were high and gradually increasing over time, they varied less than homicide rates. The rates for unintentional death from firearms, deaths during legal intervention, and deaths of undetermined intent were low and generally declined over the study period.
Firearm-related mortality affects all demographic groups, but the greatest increases in recent years were among teens 15-19 years of age, young adults aged 20-24, and older adults aged 75 and older. The rates of overall firearm-related mortality for young people aged 15-24 were higher from 1990-1994 than at any other time during the 33-year period. For those 15-19, increases in firearm-related homicide, suicide, and unintentional injury deaths were especially great. The increase in firearm-related homicide in this age group occurred among all race-sex groups. For America's elderly, rates of suicide by firearm were particularly high, and increases occurred in all race-sex groups except black females, for whom the number of suicides were too small to produce stable rates. The surveillance data in this report are intended to familiarize public health practitioners, researchers, and policymakers with the problem of firearm-related deaths in this country. While these data help characterize the magnitude of the problem and identify groups at risk, there are still gaps in our knowledge. Current surveillance efforts need to be expanded to include information about nonfatal injuries. We also need a greater understanding of the causes of firearm deaths to identify modifiable individual and societal risk factors. Finally, further research is required to plan, develop, and evaluate prevention strategies.

America's gun problem is a handgun problem. Handguns exact an inordinate toll on American lives. The vast majority of gun death and injury–in homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings–is carried out with easily concealable pistols and revolvers. The public health model as well as the traditional approaches employed in protecting consumer health and safety lead to one inevitable conclusion: handguns should be banned.
Firearms
There are an estimated 192 million firearms in civilian hands.1 Yet, fewer and fewer Americans own more and more guns.
Surprisingly, only 25 percent of adults own a firearm. Of these, three out of four own more than one gun.2
About 10 percent of the adult population owns 77 percent of the total stock of firearms.3
Handguns
There are about 65 million handguns in the United States. Handguns make up 34 percent of all types of firearms.4
Of all firearm-related crime, 86 percent involved handguns.5
Only one in six Americans own handguns.6
Unlike manufacturers of other consumer products, the industry that makes handguns is unregulated for health and safety.
Overall Firearm-Related Deaths
Since 1962, more than one million Americans have died in firearm homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings. Handguns were used in more than 650,000 of these fatal shootings.7
In 1997—the most recent year available—there were 89 firearm deaths per day, or a firearm death every 16 minutes.8
In homes with guns, a member of the household is almost three times as likely to be the victim of a homicide compared to gun-free homes.9
Handguns and Homicide
On the average, if someone gets shot and killed, four out of five times it will be with a handgun. In 1997, for example, handguns were used in 79.4 percent of all firearm homicides.10
From 1990 to 1997, handguns were used in a majority (55.6 percent) of all homicides; that is, they were used in murder more than all other weapons combined.11
From 1990 to 1997, there were 293,781 firearm deaths—homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings.12
From 1990 to 1997 in the United States there were more than—
160,000 homicides
110,000 firearm homicides
89,000 handgun homicides13
Handgun homicides hit record highs in the early 1990s, peaking in 1993. That year there were 13,258 such killings—out of a total of 16,120 firearm homicides.14
As part of an overall drop in crime, in 1997 handgun homicides fell to 8,503.15

#1 domestic terrorist threat is AAA.
two million Americans killed by motor vehicles since 1960.
the horror.
That is different.

Hmm... it sure is odd that the environment hasn't behaved exactly as predicted.
It's called La Nina, which is an overall cooling of the Pacific's waters. We had one of the strongest La Nina's on record this year. This winter will also be a weak La Nina.
La Nina occurs naturally in our Earth's climate.

Er..no, you didn't. One is a farce, and the cdc article doesn't quote a number.
Except this one..you'll note that deaths have increased as firearm restrictions have:
During the 33-year period covered by this report, the total number of firearm deaths increased by 130%, from 16,720 in 1962 to 38,505 in 1994.
From your own CDC link, shithead.

I know you are mathmatically challenged. If we averaged 25,000 gun death per year for 40 years that equals 1,000,000 gun deaths. That 25,000 figure is low, so I am sure the total is way over 1,000,000 gun deaths since 1962.

Except a pungent smell, perhaps.
I guess you can't admit you were wrong?
About?
BTW, it snowed here this morning. The earliest snow we've had in years.
About the gun deaths.

I was actually being sarcastic. I think we're heaaded for a lot of chaotic weather, and climate change deniers are helping us down a (possibly) avoidable path that only a few will enjoy.

I see this thread has gone off the rails as once again the climate change prevaricators when confronted with the truth and hard facts try to change the subject.
So let's add a few more facts for them to lie about. I think what we have is global subject change rather than global climate change (a stupid name by the way, as if the climate were ever static
).
The evidence continues to increase as the temperature continues to decrease giving the lie to the nonsensical BS the climate prevaricators have been trying to sell. Hopefully, common sense will break out in our government before it's too late and we formally sign on to this clap-trap pseudo-science.

A record cold snap in Mendocino County over the weekend caused little damage to wine grapes but chilled the hearts of farmers who already have suffered huge losses this year...
Mendocino County wine-grape growers were fearful because they already had lost an estimated 30 percent of their crop to frost in the early spring.
Alaska glaciers grew this year, thanks to colder weather
By Craig Medred | Anchorage Daily News
Two hundred years of glacial shrinkage in Alaska, and then came the winter and summer of 2007-2008.
Unusually large amounts of winter snow were followed by unusually chill temperatures in June, July and August.
"In mid-June, I was surprised to see snow still at sea level in Prince William Sound," said U.S. Geological Survey glaciologist Bruce Molnia. "On the Juneau Icefield, there was still 20 feet of new snow on the surface of the Taku Glacier in late July. At Bering Glacier, a landslide I am studying, located at about 1,500 feet elevation, did not become snow free until early August.
"In general, the weather this summer was the worst I have seen in at least 20 years."
Never before in the history of a research project dating back to 1946 had the Juneau Icefield witnessed the kind of snow buildup that came this year. It was similar on a lot of other glaciers too.
"It's been a long time on most glaciers where they've actually had positive mass balance," Molnia said.
The evidence continues to increase as the temperature continues to decrease giving the lie to the nonsensical BS the climate prevaricators have been trying to sell. Hopefully, common sense will break out in our government before it's too late and we formally sign on to this clap-trap pseudo-science.

NOAA temperature data....
This chart looks ominous until put into the context that the average temperature for 1901-2000 is 13.9C (57.0F), so we are talking about a change from about 13.5 to 14.3 C or 56.3 to 57. 7 F. Scientifically, we should use absolute temperatures, which would add an additional 273 C (460 F) degrees. In this context the increase is about 0.3 % Note on the chart that this premier data set puts the observed global warming at 0.42 deg. C (0.8 deg F) above the mean. As seen below, this increase since the mid 1800s is similar to that since the year 1000, although IPCC says the present temperature is likely higher. Greenland ice cores indicate that the start of the instrumented data (thermometers) coincides with a cold period in the northern hemisphere and that at the site of a well-studied ice core the temperature in the mid 1800s was the coldest in 8,000 years.

WTF man when I started this thread I just wanted to call Kirk on his alarmist claims not coming true lol.

Unfortunately nothing has changed.
The sea ice continues to shrink, and the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere continues to rise.
