Where's the doctor category?

Different statistic. Technically, they aren't weapons.

True. I just think the # killed by doctor is quite shocking.

They would shit their pants if they saw how many car related deaths there are every year. It triples all of these in the US alone.

So. I assume that you're using the FBI crime rate from 2016 to create your color bars?

I've noticed that you've excluded handguns or unspecified firearms. And shot guns. And "other guns".

Way to cherry pick some data there, sport.

Because when you don't cherry pick data the homicide by gun is 8 times as much by knives.

Didn't you try to slip in suicides in with murders trying to bash red states a day or two ago for their homicide rates?

The poor population of NYC alone is bigger than entire city populations in other States, yet it's the safest big city in the America.

De Blasio takes credit for that. What do you think of him? I used to think he was an idiot but having seen a few interviews lately, he can debate strongly, if not honestly.

That massive bunghole is trying to take credit?

His appearances on tv are great, because that's when muh remote gets enisted as my weapon of choice.

Yes. He said NYC is safer than in decades. Thought things got better under Giuliani. He also said he had nothing to do with people pissing in the streets without harrassment. Although he watered it down so police can't do anything.

Does he really work hours a month? Heard that along with he flies in a helicopter every week day to a gym.

Things got better across the USA with the decline of Reagan's Crack Epidemic, which rumor has it he created just to make Nancy feel useful with her "Just say no to drugs. Except crack. Muh hubby is responsible for that shit. So support US sponsored terrorism in Nicaragua and buy crack, yo" - something like that.

DuhBlasshole just needs to go. Oh, and shut up too. Who ever voted for him, and why, I don't know. I avoid all news of him. The only thing worse is Gov Cuomo who shares Cory Booker's amazing ability to lick his own balls while talking. NOT a site to behold.

Piss in the streets? Is public voiding of bowels and bladder a right wang (see what I did there?) fascination? Granted, 1001 ways to say "Anal" is my M.O., but sheesh, y'all, hate to see the
PornHub bookmarks for 'tha crew' here.

Anyways, hassle free public unrination is news to me.

WAIT! There was that one night with Pauly Bones, we were drinking and walking (he was the only one I knew besides me who liked to do more when drunk than just sit in the bench with the rest and rot).
Anyways, Pauly knew everybody, and those he didn't, he talked to anyway, so no matter how far we walked into whatever neighborhood, it seemed like home-ish.

So he starts talking to these baby mamas out in the wee ours with their WIC Check bought 40s for a bit, then we left, but he had to piss. So he starts to unzip down the block. And I'm like, "Pauly, dafuq, they're right there!" and he's like, "So, does it look like they never saw a p**is before?" and I'm like, "No, but their kids are there too!" So he zips up, and we get around the corner, then he's like, "How about here, anyone here?" in the middle of this weird curving street. "Um, no." So he relives himself in the middle of the street. Zips up, walks to the sidewalk, and VROOM! a car comes banking that curve like it was NASCAR. Literally a second after.

That story would have been a lot better if you knew Bones, an always happy dude that was usually drunk and/or stoned.

I'm rambling.

Method matters. Suicide when a gun is available is successful 82% of the time.

Their lives are not meaningless just because you don't want to count them.

I agree but suicide isn't the same as homicide and that should be stated, is all.

Method matters. In 2015, (the most recent year for which data are available), approximately 575,000 people visited a hospital for injuries due to self-harm. Firearms accounts for 82.5% of suicides.

The #2 method of suicides is drowning/Submersion 65.9%, Why aren't you screaming to ban liquids?

#3 method Suffocation/Hanging 61.4%. Why aren't you screaming to ban rope/pillows etc?

#4 Jumping off buildings 34.5% Why aren't you screaming to ban buildings, Cut out the middleman And ban height.

Their lives are not meaningless just because you don't want to count them.
You're not counting them at all.

You add all the people murdered each year by guns, I'll add all the babies aborted each year and lets see who's numbers are higher. I'll even spot you 400,000.

The Fetus isn't a baby argument is nonsense. The fetus doesn't get a choice, The same as a murder victim who was shot. Both victims would still be alive........METHOD MATTERS.

You only care about the tool used. Guns = outage, Scalpels and a vacuums = Cheers.

The year is literally on the image. And it's in response to the calls to ban the ar15, so its completely relevant.

Don't listen to him.

The FBI hasn't finished compiling the data from 2018. So. At best. Your information is incomplete. It covers from January 2018 to June 2018.

And your "relevant data" is just a bunch of bar graphs that lack any and all context.

The FBI's data It's incomplete alright, There's still about 80 days of shooting weather in Chicago. The gun murder rate will go up quite a bit in the FBI data. There's mass shootings every weekend in Chicago. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in America.
There is plenty of relevant data and bar graphs you'll ignore, The data & charts don't fit your narrative.

Nope, you're right. I went back to the page and looked at it again - that was 2016 data. Getting old sucks.

I noticed you want to cherry pick handguns or unspecified firearm Shot guns. And "other guns"
So you could exclude Abortion, Drunk driving, Arson, Poisoning And other methods.

How Americans Committed Murder in 2016
I excluded guns, You're already ranting about them to push your narrative.

Cutting/Piercing 1,781
Suffocation 502
Striking 217
Poisoning 135
Fire/Burning 131
Drowning 44
Motor vehicle 27
Fall 5
Other/Unspecified 2,105

Because when you cherry pick data to fit your talking points, The 5000 victims that don't fit your narrative are expendable to you.

I'm glad that you brought them up. Because their lives were valuable too.

And it really brings home the fact that gun deaths in the country far outstrip all others.

I'm glad I brought them up. Because You Didn't/wouldn't. They're only valuable now because you want to use them as pawns to fit your narrative.

Yeah gun death far outstrip other methods by a whopping 22%. The numbers aren't on your side.
