[QUOTE="Win.308Stealth, post: 1411168, member: 31144"] I havent verified these numbers, the only one I quickly checked is the wartime casualties and they seem to be right on track. This is something I received in an email, but if the numbers are true, why is there a discussion about this (not there ever should be one) “Gun violence in America virtually doesn't exist outside of the media. 312 million people in the US 357 million guns in the US Approx. 32,000 deaths a year in the US from firearms 60% are suicides. 19,200. 3% are accidental. 960. 4% are justified. 1,280. 33% are homicides. 10,560. 80% of those homicides are gang related. 8,448. That's 1,712 people in a society of 312 million people. That leaves a .010256410256% chance of death by a gun. A .0008564% if you don't hang out in the hood, not planning a crime, and not planning on committing suicide. The United States does not have a gun problem.” [/QUOTE]
