> “In addition, the number of injuries caused by guns is more than double the death number.”
This line kills the credibility of his argument and makes it ound like political grandstanding IMO. Where in the hell would they come up with this data where it could have any degree of accuracy? This sounds like another leftist make up the figures on the fly statement. Leftists love to make up $hip as they go along. It just sounds contrived to me
His argument is moot the moment he breaks out any statistics. Given the amount of violence in America, which by the way is decreasing, the statistics should be viewed as a success. I assume part of those statistics include self defense. I am completely fine with those statistics increasing until there is no more violence, although I would never wish anyone to have to use a weapon in self defense.
“the number of injuries caused by guns”
His improper use of language gives the game away. Injuries are not “caused by guns”. Injuries are inflicted with guns.
There is a world of difference. The “by guns” language implies volition and motivation to guns.
It shows a basic misunderstanding of reality.
