“Five hundred Americans were killed by guns last week”

Killed by other people or self murder, not guns.

Stat includes suicide?

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.
