Topic: 30,000 gun victims since Newtown debunked

[Johnnyherd]

Did you guys see them flop when their claim of 30,000 victims of gun violence since the Newtown school tragedy was examined.

1 in 12 "victims" were actually criminal suspects killed by police or killed by a citizen in which a police investigation determined self defense.

They actually listed the Boston Terrorist as a victim of gun violence.

More than half of the gun shot victim count were suicides or accidental.   

The argument against blaming suicide on guns or saying "no guns no suicide" is incorrect.  Japan has no guns and has a suicide rate twice that of the US.  South Korea has similar rules and has a suicide rate nearly 3 times ours.

Bloomberg is backpedaling claiming he bought the info from a research group.  The research group fired back claiming that Bloomberg's people asked for every incident of a person shot by a firearm.  Also, the research group stated that they never used the word "victim" related to any statistics they provided and all they had to do was "READ" the report.
