US Passes the 10,000 verified killed and injured people for the year mark!

This is no a meme. It is a chart verified by the site at the bottom: the http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

One of the people who is involve in this says:
We just rolled over 10,000 verified killed and injured people for the year, this evening. That is a lot of mothers and daughters and aunts and sisters who will have a less than pleasant Mothers' Day this year.
You might want to check out their methodology and about us pages before writing comments.
Also:
Total incidents includes all gun violence, not just where injuries/ death occur. Things like armed robbery, home invasions, defensive use, hostage incidents with guns that end without holes.

Also, many single incidents have multiple injuries/ deaths. Any attempt to map incident numbers to death/ injury numbers would not ever be possible in a summary.
.

Of course, some most of you would rather not heed the Chinese proverb that says:
Better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you are an idiot than open it and confirm their opinion.

  1. I see the incidents of defensive use is MUCH lower than the gun loons on this site say is real.
