150. Cut that by more than half to account for suicides, & criminals shot by cops & other criminals.

There are innocent deaths due to criminal and negligent misuse of firearms in the USA every year, every day. But when you spout statistics designed to inflate and exaggerate, like by including suicides in a total of 'gun deaths', I don't listen. Another one is when gun control advocates list gun deaths of children, and then you find out they count anyone 25 and under to be a child. I guess Twain was right about lies, damned lies, and statistics.
