“He added that more Americans have been killed by illegal guns since 1968 than were killed in World War II.”
I didn’t know WWII lasted 44 years.

It should also be noted that during WWII, the good guys were allowed to carry firearms. Imagine the death toll if only the Axis troops were armed? Of course, the idea of sending an army to battle without weapons is absurd, but no more absurd than thinking that disarming law-abiding citizens, and leaving only the criminals armed will reduce, rather than increase gun violence.
Also, I believe the majority of firearms related deaths in the US are suicides. While these are tragic, it seems obvious that the vast majority of these people would have killed themselve by different means, if guns had not been available.
