Re: Gun Control - Should Ordinary Citizens Own, Carry, & Use Firearms?

10,700 were gun related homicides, or 0.0041201497270112% (again, less than 1/2 of 1% of all deaths)
1/2 of 1% = 0,5%
0,004% is one hundred times less than 0,5%.
I doubt it very much. The devil hides in the details.
Do the math ...... 10,700 gun related homicides in that year divided by 2,596,993 people who died in the USA from all causes in that year.
10,700 ÷ 2,596,993 = 0.0041201497270112% which is .004%
(one percent = .010%)

So, when I say Firearms have caused less than 1/2 of one percent of all the deaths in America, you now know where I got that fact from. The left would want you to believe that the numbers are astronomical, but when you look at the big picture you see it for what it actually is. I hope I've put a little different prospective on the subject to help you understand while heavy hearts go out to those that die, firearms are actually used far, far more times to save & defend lives (+/- 2.5 million times a year) than they are used to take them.
On a lighter note .....Bel..... I know the higher math decimal concept has challenged the Iberian Peninsular down the centuries, but this is second grade stuff here.
