No, you don't, but I wasn't talking about ranges. I was talking about homes. You don't hear bout 45,000 golf club deaths at home, either. I'm sure there are a few murders where someone took someone out with a 2 iron, but they aren't designed specifically to kill people.
We also never hear of a guy going to a shopping mall and a preschool doing a mass clubbing.
So you've moved from denying Russian Interference to justifying it.
If Putin wanted Trump to win, that's a pretty good reason for most Americans to be against him winning.
Facts and figures aren't propaganda.
We have 45,000 gun deaths and 70,000 gun injuries every year.
We have 400,000 crimes committed with guns, every year.
We have police armed like soldiers who are likely to gun you down if you reach for a cell-phone because they are so paranoid.
We have 270 Billion in economic losses every year, related to gun violence.
And you guys are fine with this.

Steele was recruited by
MI6 directly following his graduation from Cambridge
[11] and worked for MI6 for 22 years.
[17] He worked in London at the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) from 1987 to 1989.
[11] From 1990 to 1993, Steele worked under diplomatic cover as an MI6 officer in Moscow, serving at the
Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow.
[10][15][18] Steele was an "internal traveller", surviving over thirty Aeroflot flights
[19]and visiting newly-accessible cities such as
Samara and
Kazan.
[12][20][21]
He returned to London in 1993, working again at the FCO until his posting with the British Embassy in Paris in 1998, where he served
under diplomatic cover until 2002. The identity of Steele as an MI6 officer and those of a hundred and sixteen other British spies were revealed in an anonymously
published list.
[10][18][22][23][24]
In 2003, Steele was sent to
Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan as part of an MI6 team, briefing
Special Forces on "kill or capture" missions for
Taliban targets, and also spent time teaching new MI6 recruits.
[18] Steele returned to London and between 2006 and 2009 he headed the Russia Desk at MI6.
[10][12][15][25]
He served as a senior officer under
John Scarlett, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), from 2004 to 2009.
[25] Steele was a
counterintelligence specialist
[17] and was selected as
case officer for
Alexander Litvinenko and participated in the investigation of the
Litvinenko poisoning in 2006.
[18] It was Steele who quickly realised that Litvinenko's death "was a Russian state 'hit'".
[25] Twelve years later, Russian double agent Boris Karpichkov alleged that Steele himself was included in a hit list of the Russian
Federal Security Service, along with
Sergei Skripal who was
poisoned in 2018 by a binary chemical weapon
Novichok in Britain.
[26]
Since 2009, Steele has not been to Russia or any other former Soviet states. In 2012, an Orbis informant quoted an FSB-agent describing him as an "enemy of Mother Russia".
[10] Steele has refrained from travelling to the United States since his authorship of the Steele dossier became public, citing the political and legal situation.
[27]
In 2012, Orbis was sub-contracted by a law firm representing
Oleg Deripaska,
[28] who was also a "person of interest" to the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russia's election interference.
[29] Between 2014 and 2016, together with
Bruce Ohr, Steele cooperated with the FBI's and Justice Department's unsuccessful efforts to
flip Deripaska into an
informant.

Wow, this is how crazy the Trump Cult have become. The Intelligence Agencies are the enemy. The military is the enemy. Republicans you previously supported are the enemy if they don't bend down and kiss Trump's ring.
Easier than admitting our flawed system let a completely unqualified person become president, and he proceeded to screw it up.
Wow, I hit a sensitive point, didn't I, Tiny?
