The sad thing about this statement is that some idiots will believe him. With a population of about 325,000,000, we'd all be killed off in about 4 days. ;)Quote:

Do these statistics include people killed by police with guns?
He corrects himself at the 1:10 mark.
93 individuals a day.
Yes, he did but the headline is much juicer and clickbaity, so we ignore the misspeak and continue with the original headline. The question I'd like to know is how many of those 93 died from suicide or self defense? cos I don't really consider deaths from those 2 categories violence.Quote:

What about drug war related violence? Drone attacks? Suicides are likely 1/2 of of that statistic, if not more. As though the absence of a gun is going to stop someone from killing themselves.Quote:
