Damn man. I guess that's game. Set. Oh wait, fail.How's that been working for you in the US?
Gun politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So guns aren't use as protection... they're used to kill yourself, to kill someone else illegally, and to kill ppl accidentally... only the minority of gun killings are actually legal (I assume that's self-defense).
:thumbup:
Definitions for WISQARS Fatal - NCIPCThe Actual CDC Data and Website said:5.1.1b Intent Categories
Suicide - intentionally self-inflicted injury that results in death
Homicide - injuries inflicted by another person with intent to injure or kill, by any means. Excludes injuries due to legal intervention and operations of war. Justifiable homicide is not identified in WISQARS.
Legal Intervention - injuries inflicted by the police or other law-enforcing agents, including military on duty, in the course of arresting or attempting to arrest lawbreakers, suppressing disturbances, maintaining order, and other legal actions. Excludes injuries caused by civil insurrections.
CDC data does not identify justifiable homicide, and that's where the 31,000 number on wikipedia came from (it's actually 30,694). The numbers from the relevant reports still stand (all of which dwarf the 31,000 gun deaths by a factor or more than 100). Defensive Gun Use occurs most often without ever firing a shot. Most attackers run or comply when met with the possibility of force in the form of a firearm (which is also why even though being a cop is super dangerous, only a fraction ever end up needing to fire their gun).
