First up is this little statistic.
You know, Judy, the reality is -- and it's a terrible reality -- since Robert Kennedy died in the Ambassador Hotel on June 4, 1968, more Americans have died from gunfire than died in … all the wars of this country's history, from the Revolutionary through the Civil War, World War I, World War II, in those 43 years. ... I mean, guns are a problem. And I think they still have to be confronted.
Is Shields correct?
Total Number of Americans killed in all of our wars: 1,171,177
Total Number of Americans killed by firearms since 1968: 1,384,171
My question is this...how many more bodies from gun deaths do we need to have to achieve the significance that this image has garnered?

Of course you have to count an awful lot of suicides to get to that number of "gun deaths".
What gun control law do you think is going to reduce suicide?
And don't forget the justified shootings are also indiscriminately mixed into that number.

Oh, and just in case anyone around here didn't actually get that Obama is a douche, I give you...
I'm not as bad as Cheney!
You must be so proud M that the President of the United States has come around to your way of thinking.
Yeah Bubba that chart should tell you and M something. But I'm sure you both will take something else away from it.
Bubba's chart demonstrates that this is correct.
