Do these weenies have a source for this statistics or is this just another leftist lie?
Leftist Lie is redundant, if a leftist said it it is a lie or put nicely 'a distortion of the truth'
Example: they may count gun violence as iraqi's shooting american soldiers, afterall the sentence says 'takes the lives of...Americans'. They might also throw in suicides by gun, then just for fun they may throw in how many were shot in tv shows because they have no grip on reality anyway.
