That is so awesome. Biden and Obama and the liberals are such a joke. Go ahead and ban weapons in cities if you you need something to do to get the votes for the next election. Leave the rural areas to the true gun owners who know what they are talking about.

I wonder how much of those deaths are in cities were people live on top of each other. Don't let the Governor know I said that people live on top of each other in cities and that does not appeal to everyone.

FACTS TO PONDER :
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are120,000.
(Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now think about this:
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million..)
(B) The number of accidental gun death per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(Calculation) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

Or do your think that your ability to make love to your gun (obviously compensating for something) trumps the deaths of more US citizens than have been killed in ALL US WARS COMBINED? The question isn't about how many fetuses have been terminated. It's not about how many doctors have inadvertently killed patients. It has nothing to do with how many have been killed in rural or inner cities. Those are MERELY diversionary tactics because these gun nuts have must have their play toys. Grow a set of balls. Then maybe you can put your guns away.

Wow, the Russians lost 11 times that in WW2 alone. Go figure.

I see that stat is being perpetrated all over the web, including tweets from our esteemed POTUS.. :/
The number is completely bogus. It is one more example of using statistics to perpetuate a fraud. The number does not tell the whole story.
The average number of gun related murders in the US annually is about 10,000. At 10K a year, in the 45 years since 1968 the total number would be about 450K.
Interesting to note the number of suicides involving a gun are about twice the murder rate, or about 20K a year. So, 45 years times 20,000 = 900K
Accidental deaths is about 1K annually, or 45 years times 1K = 45K.
When you add all the gun related deaths together, (murder, suicide, and accidental) the total number is about 30K. Over the last 45 years that adds up to the 1.3 million number that is being perpetrated.
Or, as in the numbers above, 450 + 900 + 45 = 1.39 million over 45 years.
Homicides by gun represent about 32% of all gun related deaths.
By contrast, over two million people are injured annually in car crashes.. ban cars?? About 200,000 people are killed annually by medical error.. ban hospitals and Doctors? About 31,000 people die from household chemical poisoning each year. About 80,000 people die from alcohol poisoning each year.. About 36,000 people die from the flu each year. About 58,000 people die each year from exposure to second hand smoke..
And the list goes on and on..
:/

Take suicides out of gun deaths and see what happens to your figures, tomc.

1.3 million gun deaths in the US since 1968. More deaths than all US wars COMBINED. Repeal the 2nd Amendment. Gotta love statistics. Recent numbers indicate 60% of US gun deaths are suicides. Nearly 98% of gun deaths are as a result of illegal use of guns. Often overlooked fact: criminals don't obey laws, including gun laws. Approximately 1.3 Americans have died in wars. Don't know where you get your statement unless "US wars" means only wars strictly between Americans which means only the Civil War (625,000). If that is the case, your statement is a bit misleading. 1.3M deaths If 60% are suicides: 1.3M - 780,000 = 520,000 shootings If 3% are accidental, lawful, or undetermined: 520,000 - 39,000 = 481,000 homicides 481,000 homicides over 45 years: About 11,000 homicides per year Civil War: 625,000 US deaths in 5 years = 125,000/year WW1: 116,500 US deaths in 2 years = 58,250/year WW2: 405,400 US deaths in 5 years = 81,080/year Note: The WW1 and WW2 numbers are US deaths to compare to the original statement. The total number of deaths in each of those wars was in the tens of millions.

I first have to disclose that I am not a Republican. I just figured out why Obama picked Biden as a running mate. Obama wanted full control. Biden really comes across as a sexist, pompass ass in that clip. Hecan not think fast enough to have a normal conversation and work talking points into the discussion. What a jerk!

We have a winner! I could not agree with your assessment of Joe Biden any more than you have stated. He is a classless ass. Amazing what we end up with in the most senior positions in this country in both Government and Industry. :/
