The 93 million per day may well have come from the MEME page at:

https://everytownresearch.org/gun-violence-by-the-numbers/

They claim their data comes from the CDC, and when you click on the “View CDC data” you will find that the average is 93 per DAY.

and... the 93 per day is all inclusive, going down to “homicide” finds that the average homicide by gun is 32 per day.

I don't believe that either. I want to see their numbers.

Peace, garyb,

Thank you for the URL. The progs at everytownresearch can't even keep their numbers straight from one meme to another. The first says 93 Americans are killed with guns per day. The second says there are nearly (less than) 12,000 gun homicides per year. 93 x 365 = 33945. That's almost three times the number reported in the second meme. Either a LOT of those 93 gun deaths aren't homicides or someone is playing fast and loose with the numbers.
