Murder by firearms

[RetiredGySgt]

11000 murders by firearms in the latest figures. There are 320 MILLION people in this Country. That means the percentage of murders to people is .00003%.

Just had a retarded Australian make the claim that if she came to the States she might be one of those killed in a mass shooting. Of the 11000 less then 300 are due to mass shooting. So her risk is so small as to be nearly zero.

And then we have the gun grabbers all claiming that law abiding citizens should give up their rights as protected by the 2nd Amendment because of the amount of murder committed.

Doctors kill over 100,000 a year, you have 10 times the risk of death by seeing a doctor then by gunfire.

You have 4 times the risk of dying in a car accident then from gunfire.

Yet we should give up our rights because .00003 percent of the population dies due to murder by firearms.

American Gun Deaths to Exceed Traffic Fatalities by 2015 - Bloomberg

Guns and cars have long been among the leading causes of non-medical deaths in the U.S. By 2015, firearm fatalities will probably exceed traffic fatalities for the first time, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.

While motor-vehicle deaths dropped 22 percent from 2005 to 2010, gun fatalities are rising again after a low point in 2000, according to the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Shooting deaths in 2015 will probably rise to almost 33,000, and those related to autos will decline to about 32,000, based on the 10-year average trend.

Looks like by 2015 guns will kill more Americans than cars. And the homocide death rate of Americans population is far higher than any of the other western democracies.

The Left's effort to ban handguns, is purely political. It has nothing to do with reducing crime.

Once you disarm the public, the power elite can do as they wish. Just as they have done throughout history.

I seriously doubt that next year there will be 30000 murders by firearms. And since you are counting suicides I call bullshit.

Good fucking god this bullshit subject gets old. Don't you all have ANYTHING better to discuss other than the same fucking subject over and over.

No one is taking your guns. There are more guns in circulation than ever before. You can walk into a gun store today and buy weapons and ammo to your hearts content.

What the fuck is the problem? Other than you gun nuts being mental midgets.

People like RGS need a security blanket. Lots of guns and lots of ammo provide that blanket. And when someone sane points out the fallacy in their security blanket, it pains them to no end. Fearful little people afraid of the world around them, incapable of dealing with it on a rational basis. So they arm themselves against non-existant boogymen, and hide from the sunlight.

They are and they do.

WWII being a prime example.

Now the Police Chief of Detroit is saying "Arm yourselves". He knows what REALLY keeps the peace. Should do the same in Shitcago.

Your figures are skewed because of one single important fact. More than half of gun deaths is from suicide. That's obviously not the case with vehicle deaths.

You've never made your own deer jerky, have you? Oh, wait, you must first know how to fire a gun to kill a deer. Oh well, more deer jerky for me!

 

[M14 Shooter]

Latest FBI figures show 8855 firearm related murders in 2012.
That means 99.997% of guns were -not- involved in a murder.
Clearly, we have a crisis on our hands.

 

[Mad Scientist]

FBI Statistics show a MAJOR reduction in Violent Crime from 1994 to 2010.

[Sunni Man]

I wonder what % of the gun deaths involve negro's shooting each other in the hood?? ...

Walk over there and count them...

please tell that to all the innocent people who were killed in Shitcago, N.Y.C., W.D.C., L.A., N.O. Huston etc., etc. because they as law abiding citizens were denied the opportunity to defend themselves.

you lack the brains of a beetle bug.

It is funny that you call RGS out on his, supposed, fallacy. When you quote figures that include suicides, which amounts to almost 2/3 of that number.

And considering the number of times privately owned firearms are used to stop a crime, the "boogyman" is hardly imaginary.
