Yep......as John Nolte points out...the anti gunner talking point that more guns will lead to more gun deaths, by murder or accident...are not true, or based in fact or reality....
Our country increased gun ownership from 200 million guns in the 1990s to 357-400 million guns in 2016.....with 23 million guns bought in just the last few years...and as gun ownership increased...as actually carrying guns for self defense increased...gun murder, and accidental gun deaths declined......by 49% for gun murder....and by the lowest level of accidental gun death since 1903....'
Fake News Exposed: Accidental Gun Deaths Plummet To All-Time Low
Although the American population has more than tripled since 1903 and sales of firearms hit record after record during President Obama's gun-grabbing years, according to the National Safety Council, accidental shooting deaths in 2015 hit an all-time low of 489. That is a TOTAL of 489, and the lowest figure since these numbers first started to be recorded in 1903.
Overall, in 2015, there were 146,571 accidental deaths in America (cars, prescription drugs, falls), meaning the 489 firearms deaths ranks somewhere close to a statistical zero.
Based on the number of background checks, a whopping 52,600 guns were purchased every dayduring Obama's 8-year presidency. A total of 141.1 million background checks were done and 46 million new firearms were produced.
And yet, despite the fact that more than 100 million Americans own somewhere around 300 million guns, despite all the hysteria we constantly hear from the national media and other gun-grabbers about the how dangerous it is to have a gun in your home, from the looks of it, you would be much safer if you kept the gun and removed the bathtub.
Add to this the fact that between July 2014 and July 2015, nearly 300 innocent Americansavoided being victims of dangerous criminal thanks to the fact they own a firearm. This number is considered low for a number of reasons, including the deterrent factor.
----------------------
Left-wing outlets such as PolitiFact have tried to dismiss the decrease in accidental gun deaths with the claim that improved emergency room procedures deserve some credit for the decrease. This is absurd on its face when you consider the combined explosion of our population and the number of gun owners. Nevertheless, even if that were true, these improved emergency room procedures would, then, decrease all accidental deaths, and they are not. In 2015, overall accidental deaths actually rose 8% over the previous year, while accidental gun deaths fell 17%.
