Beep boop beep 🤖 I’m Gabby Giffords:
1:04 – “Last year alone, 36,000 Americans, died from gun violence” -Mark Kelly. W-R-O-N-G. Do we really have to go over this shit every time? It’s truly exhausting when they try and act like that figure is ALL murders, and not mainly suicides (normally over half are suicides), accidental/negligent gun deaths etc..
Here is the official CDC (center for disease control) final data for 2014 showing 33,594 firearm deaths. BUT this is what that number consists of:
Firearm—In 2014, 33,594 persons died from firearm injuries in the United States (Tables 18 and 19), accounting for 16.8% of all injury deaths in that year. The age-adjusted death rate from firearm injuries (all intents) did not change significantly in 2014 from 2013. The two major component causes of firearm injury deaths in 2014 were suicide (63.7%) and homicide (32.8%). The age-adjusted death rate for firearm homicide decreased 2.8%, from 3.6 in 2013 to 3.5 in 2014. The rate for firearm suicide did not change.
I don’t know why all anti-gun groups do this… it’s like the honest answer of people dead due to actual murders just isn’t impressive enough for them. Take into account that even that number includes a lot of gang violence, where criminals are killing one another. I can’t wait until one day where the data is so beautifully collected that I can filter out the number of criminals who were murdered and so on.
Why is General Stanley McChrystal in on this? Some sort of elitist attitude at work here?
1:12 – “Gabby and I are both gun owners” – Holy shit that was so patronizing… and like he’s talking to a 3 year old. Oh they “support second amendment rights BUT”… then cue the talk about criminals getting firearms.
1:26 – Oh we “knowingly tolerate” criminals buying guns legally? Since when?
1:45 – At this point in the video, I realized that Gabby is VERY good at nodding.
I really feel terrible that Gabby Giffords was shot. It should have never happened. I also feel really terrible that’s she’s being paraded around like this.
Oh man the end of the video is difficult to watch 😬.
Thoughts?
