Now, now, a good American can never pass up a bargain. Maybe that explains why 1,000 people die every day due to guns.

Sounds like a worldwide total. But by inference they try to make it sound like the USA. Never can be honest, can they?

"1000 people a day"

That would make 365,000 people die in America every year from guns. What a load of crap. The true murder rate in America per year is around 15,000 with six thousand gun-related murders. And a very large share of those gun murders occur in large cities with gang and drug problems. This meathead should check the stats in smaller urban or rural areas, like where I live, where gun ownership is very high and murder rates are on a par with most unarmed European countries.
