Mike Bloomberg Claims ‘100 Americans’ Killed by Guns Every Day
The claim of 100 deaths “by guns” every day translates into 36,500 Americans “killed by guns” each year. Presenting gun deaths in this way allows suicides and homicides to be lumped together, then all of it reported under the heading of gun violence. In reality, roughly 66 percent of firearm-related deaths are suicides, and a large chunk of the remaining 33 percent–actual homicides–is occurring in Democrat-controlled cities.

Last I checked, jumping off a tall building or hanging yourself with a rope also works as a method for suicide. Two people I know checked out by those methods, not being able to legally own a gun didn't stop them from checking out.

And people have a Right to a gun for suicide. It's over before you know it. No pain. They put up safety barriers on all concrete structures, so you can't drive your minivan into a bridge abutment anymore. Wouldn't want to jump off a building or cliff. hanging sucks.
I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you.

Helium is actually a finite commodity these days. They need to buy all the Redi-Whips and huff Nitrous Oxide. Better yet, and cheaper, buy a large cylinder of Nitrogen and displace the atmosphere in a closed space with it.

You fail to account for the demographics of those gun deaths. Why do you Libtards adamantly refuse to look at the FACTS? The majority of those shootings deaths are black-on-black crime. So the problem is not with guns.

It gives you the illusion of freedom,
makes you trust, love, and defend your oppressor,
while making an enemy of those
who are trying to free you or open your eyes.”
-Fiyah

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“You have been programmed to resist the very person that is here to set you free, from the prison of your Mind... You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality. Religions are mental programs to imprison your Mind.”

First of all, I love you.

I would rather shoot myself than hang or jump of a building lol.

Last I checked, you're post stick with relevant facts to the matter. Using firearm suicides to pad gun violence stats is absolutely misleading to the argument here and you know that full well.

Re: Mike Bloomberg Claims ‘100 Americans’ Killed by Guns Every Day
I will never forget, over 40-years ago, I witnessed a car making a U-Turn on a road with three lanes in each direction, he just pulled out in front of oncoming traffic and collided with an oncoming vehicle.
He looked as white as a bed-sheet, maybe in his '80's. The gash on his forehead had no blood coming out of it. He told me "my wife died a week ago, I want to die, too."
This man, and who knows how many others, commit suicide using this method and possibly injure innocent people in the process.
