Actually I saw a statistic that said that the percentage of gun deaths that were suicides were 62%.
this site says 55% : 55 Percent of Gun Deaths in America are Suicide
this one has some interesting statistics too : AFSP: Facts and Figures: National Statistics
What I would also like to know, how many of these gun deaths are gang related? Are we really to believe that gangs will stop existing/killing/using guns because there is a law to prevent them (oh wait, we already have a law for that)
Not to mention, how many of these gun related deaths are actual SELF-DEFENSE?
I like this guy.
I like how you think. It poses good questions because it doesn't differentiate between the various TYPES of shootings. How many were officer involved? How many were crime related (gangs) vs random encounters (self-defense)? And if it's gang related, how do we even know if it was gang on gang or gang vs random people?
These are the hard questions the media is SUPPOSE to be asking but yet we are still left with the questions.
