Just an off the cuff guess. I could be wrong. Average over 100 per day for lots of years makes millions seem possible. If you've done the math, I don't have a problem accepting a different number.
Wrong.....the mass murder in Europe murdered more people than criminals with gun in America have killed......you simply want the government to murder people.....
You know that's bullshit, right? We kill more each day than Europe, unless you are goofy enough to count wars. We should be doing what they are doing.
Gun murders are the issue here, not all murder.....and Europe murdered 12 million people after they disarmed them.....they killed more people in that short period of time than all of our criminals since have killed.....your math is wrong......
12 million averaged out since 1939 makes 150,000 people a year......we have no where near that number of innocent people killed each year.
Of our 10,265 gun murders in 2018, 80% of the victims were criminals involved in the criminal life........leaving 2,053 innocent gun murder victims.....leaving aside the fact that the majority of those victims are friends and family of criminals caught between violent criminals shooting at each other.......during that same time? 164,240 innocent gun murder victims since 1939....and that is attributing the same violent gun murder number in years before the destruction of the family here in the U.S......so the number isn't even that high....

Gang Killers In Chicago Used Christmas Gatherings To Target Their Victims
Gang killers, knowing their targets would be home for Christmas, launched a bloody weekend of shootings in Chicago that left 11 dead and another 37 wounded.
"We now know that the majority of these shootings and homicides were targeted attacks by gangs against potential rivals who were at holiday gatherings. This was followed by several acts of retaliatory gun violence," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement Monday.
--------------
The violence primarily occurred in areas with historical gang conflicts on the South and West Side of Chicago."
And this is what we keep telling you anti gunners and you refuse to believe it....
"Ninety percent of those fatally wounded had gang affiliations, criminal histories and were pre-identified by the department's strategic subject algorithm as being a potential suspect or victim of gun violence," Guglielmi said.

Roy Exum: How We Stop The Bullets
David Kennedy, a renowned criminal justice professor and co-chair of the National Network for Safe Communities, believes that places like the 1500 block of East 50th Street where Deontrey was killed, or Central Avenue where two other Chattanoogans were shot around the same time, aren’t necessarily bad areas. Good people live in those areas, just as the overwhelming numbers of those who live in our inner city are decent and law-abiding citizens.
No, our new focus isn’t on neighborhoods like Alton Park or East Chattanooga but instead on “hot” places” and “hot” people. In an article entitled, “The Story Behind the Nation’s Falling Body Count,” Kennedy writes, “Research on hot spots shows violence to be concentrated in ‘micro’ places, rather than ‘dangerous neighborhoods,’ as the popular idea goes. Blocks, corners, and buildings representing just five or six percent of an entire city will drive half of its serious crime.”
The same is true about people. “We now know that homicide and gun violence are overwhelmingly concentrated among serious offenders operating in groups: gangs, drug crews, and the like representing under half of one percent of a city's population who commit half to three-quarters of all murders.”
Read it once more: “ … under half of one percent … commit half to three-quarters of all murders.”
It is vitally important for us to realize the recent “worst of the worst” roundup had very little to do with race, yet to the uninformed it clearly appeared that only blacks were targeted.
Try to forget that all were black and focus instead on the far greater fact – there is ample evidence that each is alleged to be a serious criminal.
Kennedy writes, “We also know some reliable predictors of risk: individuals who have a history of violence or a close connection with prior victims are far more likely to be involved in violence themselves.
Hot groups and people are so hot that when their offending is statistically abstracted, their neighborhoods cease to be dangerous. Their communities aren't dangerous; (these criminals) are.”
