Subtract the “Americans” shot during gang related activity and the drunken illegal aliens and things don’t look quiet as bad.

“Five hundred Americans were killed by guns last week”

Killed by other people or self murder, not guns.

Stat includes suicide?

Start by leaving all cities controlled by Democrats and move to places with conceal-carry laws. Much safer!

Yes. About 300 of the 500 are suicides. About 190 of the remaining 200 are homicides about 12 - 16 are accidents. Of the 190 homicides, about 110 or so are criminals being killed by other criminals or citizens.

None of the above are killed by “guns”. They are killed with guns. The left is all about your choice to commit suicide, as long as it is by government approved doctors.

Suicides are a large percentage of people killed by guns.

Steves is just another one-world, PBS, delusional loon - paid by us, the U.S. taxpayer.

Defund PBS and NPR!

Does this moron realize that would require 26,000 gun deaths per year?

People who can’t do simple math trying to tell me how to live my life can cram it into their sigmoid colon.

If you add about 15,000 suicides to about 10,000 homicides and about 600 accidents, it comes to about 26,000.

I didn’t know guns just go and kill 500 Americans (not illegal aliens) each year. I heard that knife, hammer, screwdriver, baseball bat, car, train, airplane, etc., and now recently facebook and YouTube got into the killing business, too. We can’t jail them all so, what we going to do? Stevens…?

You’re right, of course, I was thinking only of murders. Of course, I suspect the author was, too, or he wouldn’t have phrased it as a safety issue.
