🤔 That’s rather rich coming from a wanker like you who cannot spell
Get someone to help you read through this as it might be beyond your “intellectual” level ...🧐
..Skitt’s Law is an Internet axiom which states that people who correct other’s spelling or grammar are likely to commit errors themselves. It is often used as a humorous critique of the pedantic Internet users known as Grammar Nazis. Several similar laws referring to the same principle have arisen independently, but Skitt’s Law is the most prevailing term.😳
Basically thats saying you’re a pedantic prick , I agree 🕺🕺
Well don’t then , I’m sick and tired of constantly posting up links to every stat when it comes to the gun debate as you’re just told by Americans “ your source is biased “ ......
I just posted up another reply to your fellow gun nut with reference to stats
Bullshit buddy so you admit without guns Americans would get tooled up with machetes en masses but it’s not a problem is it ?
Read some real facts from American Health org
Nearly 1,300 children in the United States die from gun-related injuries every year
That makes guns the third leading cause of death for U.S. children, according to a 2017 study in Pediatrics, surpassing the number of childhood deaths from congenital abnormalities, heart disease, flu or pneumonia, respiratory disease, and cerebrovascular causes.
“The shooter playing with a gun was the most common circumstance surrounding unintentional firearm deaths of both younger and older children,” the authors wrote in their study. In addition to the number of children killed, nearly 6,000 are treated for guns
About 50 women a month are shot to death by intimate partners in the U.S.
Everytown for Gun Safety reports this horrific stat, compiled from FBI reports from 2009 to 2013. According to a 2017 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, more than half—54%—of women killed by their partners in the United States are killed with guns.
Gun homicides kill about 13,000 people every year in the United States
That makes America’s gun homicide rate 25 times higher than the average of other global economic leaders, according to a 2016 study in the American Journal of Medicine that compared 2010 data from 23 populous, high-income countries. For 15- to 24-year-olds, the U.S. gun homicide rate was 49 times higher than in other countries.
Another finding from that study puts things into even greater perspective: While the U.S. accounts for 46% of the population of these countries, it has 82% of the gun deaths overall—and more than 90% of women, children, and young adult gun deaths. Before this research, the authors note in their paper, the most recent study on this topic was more than a decade old.
Gun deaths and injuries jump 70% in the weeks following (some) nearby gun shows.
More than 4,000 gun shows are held annually in the United States, and gun shows account for 4% to 9% of annual firearm sales. But a 2017 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that when gun shows are held in Nevada, gun-related deaths and injuries increase by 70% in nearby California communities for at least the next two weeks.
54% of U.S. gun owners admit that they do not store their guns safely
“Safely,” in this case, is defined as “in a locked gun safe, cabinet, or case, locked into a gun rack, or stored with a trigger lock or other lock.” Those are the findings of a February study in the American Journal of Public Health based on survey responses from 1,444 U.S. gun owners—believed to be the first nationally representative sample of its kind in 15 years.
Gun owners with children under 18 living at home tended to be more careful with their guns, but 45% still reported not using safe storage techniques. "Household gun ownership can increase the risk of homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings in the home,” said lead study author Cassandra Crifasi, PhD, an assistant professor with the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, in a press release, “but practicing safe storage for all gun
99.85% of Americans will know a victim of gun violence
Nearly all of us will know someone in our social network who is injured by a gun in our lifetimes, according to a 2016 study in Preventive Medicine, and 84.3% will know someone who dies.
Black people in the U.S. have the highest likelihood of knowing someone who dies from gun violence, at 95.5%. White people have an 85.3% chance, followed by Hispanic people (62.4%) and other racial groups (46.7%).
Of the 30 leading causes of death in the United States, gun violence is the least researched
A 2017 research letter published in JAMA examined federal funding and publication frequency for research into the 30 leading causes of death in the U.S. from 2004 to 2015. In relation to the number of people killed, gun violence was the least researched cause of death and second-to-last (after falls) in the amount of allocated funding. In fact, gun violence received only 1.6% of the funding it should have, compared to other causes of death with similar mortality rates.
That came as no surprise to advocates for more gun research. Two years earlier, House Democrats released a statement decrying the fact that “we dedicate $240 million a year on traffic safety research, more than $233 million a year on food safety, and $331 million a year on the effects of tobacco, but almost nothing on firearms that kill 33,000 Americans annually.”
In order to fully comprehend the threat of gun violence in the United States in 2018, here are five shocking facts.
Three of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history have occurred in the last eight months.
It is more dangerous to be a school student than a deployed service member in 2018. You are twice as likely to be shot dead at school, than in active service.
An American woman is shot dead by her partner every 16 hours.
One in three children live in a home with a gun.
In an average day, 20 American children are shot.
With statistics like that, it’s only a matter of time until we’re covering the next horrific – yet entirely inevitable – mass shooting.
Wonder how many children will be shot today in the U S ?
I said I can pull up thousands of gang violence murders that are done with Machetes.
I never said it was in the U.S.
But you said comparing stats with other countries was ridiculous , except of course when an idiot like you tries to argue otherwise .
So where are the “thousands of machete deaths “ taking place yearly , bet you cannot answer ?
I was stating how gangs in locations that do not have access to guns operate.
Machete gangs ? You really are an idiot , ok name the countries that has machete gangs .....bet you cannot answer ?
If I was your English teacher you'd get a very low score for reading comprehension.
But you wouldn’t even make it into a junior school here such is your level of stupidity......
Regarding your own comprehension your teacher should have told you that’s meant to be were not was you dummy
I can't believe you can literally read and respond to logic and just ignore it.
But you don’t do logic , you make stuff up because of your embarrassment at the appalling gun stats for the U S , now you claim there are thousands of machete deaths in the U S yearly .....
Astonishing.
I agree your ignorance is truly astonishing
Sigh, you miss the point entirely.
Sigh , you still won’t admit a gun is a weapon
Let's say we have 100,000 Homicides a year.
Let's say 70% of these involved a gun. So we have 70,000 Gun Homicides.
Then we waive a magic wand and all guns are gone from Society. And we look at next year.
We have 100,000 Homicides again.
But 0% involve a gun because they no longer exist! How Wonderful we stopped gun violence.
Never-mind that we actually made 0 progress. We can use words in ways that make us sound smart. "We stopped all gun violence in 1 year by eliminating all guns!"
Guns are not the problem.
Guns are a problem especially for Americans , so here’s the deal guns are the problem otherwise they wouldn’t call them gun deaths /accidents ....... Tricky stuff but hey you may work it out yet
If people are committing suicide and you don't like it. Don't take away the gun, find out why they are committing suicide and resolve that.
Ah right you do like it ? Find out why but let them have their guns in the meantime ?
Taking the gun away doesn't resolve the issue.
If you have constant gang wars, yes that is a problem that needs to be solved, but I can easily pull up thousands of videos of people being hacked to death with Machetes in places where guns are hard to get.
Really , thousands of machete deaths in the U S yearly wow !
Taking the gun away doesn't resolve the issue.
Well maybe get rid of machetes as well ?
If you have school shootings, taking away the gun does not stop bombings, or stabbings, or help the actual issue that we have people that want to commit such acts.
Taking the gun away doesn't resolve the issue.
That was my point.
Thank you for confirming you Americans would kill and maim each other’s with just about anything
Weapons are Tools.
Using American speak yes , but the rest of us call guns weapons
I'm also tired of people stating "Gun Deaths" as if these exist on their own.
Who said they exist on their own ? They don’t happen in civilized countries mostly can you guess why ? Because we don’t have guns
you should never compare "Gun Deaths" in one country to another country.
I know because your country is more violent than most
You should compare "Homicides". Who cares what item was used to kill the other person, the bad thing is that a person was murdered.
Well Americans don’t care if you had no guns you would have no gun deaths , why are you not mentioning the 70,000 accidents a year and school shootings?
It is your opinion that we have an embarrassing amount of gun death.
Most non Americans agree with me , it’s your opinion there’s no problem
If you eliminate suicides and gangs we have an incredibly small amount.
If , If ........
As always, control fanatics like you do not care about saving lives, you just want to take our guns.
I know terrible isn’t it “fanatics “ like me think 30,000 to 40,000 gun deaths a year are appalling add on 70,000 odd gun accidents , schools shootings etc, etc, and Americans think it’s something to be proud off , sure idiots like you go to church and console yourself that “ Hey Jesus would have carried a gun “ ....... How are you so fucked in the head ?
Spoken like a true American, yous are the only people who call a gun a “tool “ such is your desperation and embarrassment at the staggering gun death /accident numbers yearly .....
I wonder what you definition of a gun is ? Let me help ......
gun

The hilarious thing is you claim to be a “Christian “ and idiots like you actually think if Jesus roamed the earth today he would carry a gun ...... Ignore
