And Terry McAuliffe says “We lose 93 million people a day to gun violence” several times, before claiming today is not the day for the discussion of gun control.
He was then thrown a lifeline by a reporter who offered that “93 million seems like an awfully high number”
McAuliffe corrected himself.
It’ll come loud and clear over the months about gun control and sales will again go through the roof...
It would be nice if the reporter had then corrected the “93” number. Because unless you consider the very act of firing a gun “violent”, more than 2/3rds of those gun deaths are not “violent attacks”, but suicides.
In other words, most of the gun deaths are people who WANT to kill themselves — something the democrats mostly support, that they fight for as a “right”. And guns are the most successful way to commit suicide, so if you actually felt people had that right, you should be happy that they have a way to do it without failing so badly.
Another interesting fact: 6% of those violent gun deaths happen in ONE city, Chicago. A city with one of the most strict gun controls in our country.
