Allow me to add a couple: More people die under the care of doctors than are killed by firearms. Ban doctors.
Many people die in beds. Ban beds.
I wonder if an assumption is being made that the toll of deadly accidents was largely due to weapons and then the calculated conclusion is being trumpeted, circularly, as truth. I agree this would be unlikely on that rugged and ready trail. Especially as you point out this is before modern sanitation and the advent of the antibiotic, which has rendered many former formidable menaces trivial.
It’s certainly possible for a once fervently believing Christian to fall into a degenerate form of the gospel, as if fallen earth could be engineered into heaven. A theology not too far removed from that is behind the final verse of the popular patriotic hymn “America The Beautiful.” Nope, there won’t be an America as such — though there will be many souls who had lived in America as well as all around the globe — in a place “undimmed by human tears.”
Moyers is LYING on MY (and your) DIME!
It's way past time to defund the entire PBS system - "Non-profit" my a$$! The government has NO BUSINESS being in the broadcasting business.
If he wants to lie, he should have to find investors or sponsors who are willing to pay for his lies.

who is Bill Moyers ? a guy who commutes on the public bus system? If he was serious about his job he would at least buy a car so he could be on time for work
Let us get rid of government bloat and cops’ UAVs first, then maybe we won’t even have to discuss the rest cuz I might not feel the need to arm myself by then and the point will be moot.
Free speech was attacked in a theater. Moyer should ask himself how do we defend our free speech then?
Woah! Hello! Hello! Is this thing on? I’m still here!

Senseless boob alert.
Right. Gun sales have shot through the roof ...but we have no increased rash of gun violence on record now, do we?
Amazing how that works.
it escapes the notice of the gun banners who reject self defense & nat'l defense but support child killing, that if civilization were technologically reduced to the stone age, criminals hell bent on assault, murder, rape, theft, etc would simply use wooden clubs & or stone axes/rocks to perpetrate piracy.
it also seems to be lost on them that it is human nature that is the source of crime, violence & injustice.
"And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. 21“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. 23“All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” Gospel of Mark 7:20-23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
