(2,717 posts)tortoise: So, 750 k gun deaths over 47 years. That works out to a little less than 1% of 80 million... and multiply the number of homicides by 1.25.
... that only holds true if every death is by a legal gun owner
You're omitting one important detail. Beevul's contention, and that which I refuted, involved gun owners either gun killing or gunshot wounding someone else (or themselves, on edit).
Woundings generally occur in combat about 8 to 1 ratio over deaths, so the predominance of gun shot casualty would be woundings.
Here's beevul's signature line again:
beevul's sig line: 99.9 percent of gun owners do not shoot or kill anyone. Focus on the .1 percent who misuse guns, and leave the rest of us who don't, and our guns, the hell alone. Member of the 99.9 percent.
Beevul's signature line is just one big fat lying example of rightwing garbage.
Best put me back on ignore tortoise, help you save face.
