Here's a stat, 100% of gun nuts are gun nuts because Numan.com won't supply them the medicationYou are so full of crap . . .
I challenged it and asked you before to support your this "83% . . . " claim of yours. It's obvious you don't really know the particulars of the 83% stat you have thrown out dozens of times in he last year. Why is your description / breakdown of the 83% never specific and so lacking consistency?
I have read it to be:
"83% are killed by friends and family"
"83% of murder victims know each other"
"83% of murder victims know their killers"
"83% of homicides are committed by people who know each other"
"83% of gun homicides are people the victim knows"
"83% of murderers have some relationship to the victim"
"83% of gun murders are "normal" people killing their friends and family"
"83% of homicides are not career criminals, they are people who got into altercations with their family, friends or neighbors"
"83% of homicides are family or aquaintences[sic]"
"83% of murders aren't gangs, they are people who shoot their family and neighbors"
"83% of gun homicides are people who are shot by family members, friends or neighbors"
"83% of homicides are domestic violence of some sort. i.e. victims know their killers"
"83% of homcides are domestic violence"
You never cite the source of the 83% with a breakdown that refutes the simple challenge that you are stretching "acquaintance" far, far beyond the FBI meaning to make your half-assed gun control points.
Besides your loosely-goosey terminology, (which itself indicates deception), and blatant exaggerations / misrepresentations, (saying the 83% is just "gun homicides" or just "domestic violence"), again I demand you cite your source for the "83% . . . ", with a link.
I know for a fact the numbers just don't add up, at least using numbers from the most recent FBI-UCR; 28% + 13% = 41%, not 83%.
"In 2019, 28.3 percent of homicide victims were killed by someone they knew other than family members (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.), 13.0 percent were slain by family members, and 9.9 percent were killed by strangers. The relationship between murder victims and offenders was unknown in 48.9 percent of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter incidents."
So put up or shut up, state your stats clearly, precisely, consistently and source them . . . Or not, and be a typical duplicitous anti-gunner eager to lie to make your points.
