I saw it. First Beckel said 1600, then 15 seconds later he said 1500. Beckel is a lying sack whose time was up years ago.

“But they have lost me.”

Likewise (see #10). Pouty-lipped fat boy is dispicable.

I guess the fact checkers went with Glenn.

I don’t have the numbers handy, but I believe that accidental firearm deaths are declining and have been for a decade or more. This is the face of sharply ~higher~ rates of firearm ownership. It speaks volumes about the success of firearms training and awareness programs on the part of the NRA and other groups.

What he probably included was unintended deaths from drive-by shootings, classifying them as ‘accidental’. Although accidental in a certain sense, they’re probably not what most people would consider, and are misleading.

Even then it’s only 30 per state over an entire year. A very small minority of both population and gun owners.

Hookers want to know if you're still trying to pay them with personal checks.

IF you include homicide and suicide then that probably is the right number. Also the number is about 75 for those under the age of 15, with about half of those being 10 and older (should know better)

No you are wrong, that was not what the pig was saying. Please don't defend him, it was a blatant lie.

OK, this is the first I’ve heard about the Beck replacement show. Sounds like “Must Miss” TV. How are it’s ratings?

I wonder if 0-18 includes 18 year olds. I bet it does. So, even that number is inflated.

Also the number is around 800 accidental deaths for the entire US.

The POS was VERY clear. He was specifically talking about juvenile deaths from accidental firearm discharge in the home when the parents are not around. Do you get it now?

I am not defending him at all, but I also swore he said over a 10 year period. In any case the CDC does not break down the manner of accidental death, (hunting, cleaning a gun, someone being reckless and shooting someone else etc.)

Beckel has his marching orders from the White House, which gave away its position on their 2011 anti-gun/2nd Amendment push, which includes the UN Small Arms Treaty, pushing the DHS lies of all of the guns in Mexico come from the US, facilitated by the Fast & Furious scandal, and now fat, loser windbags like Beckel push this accidental death crap.

Watch for anti-gun news articles that show up “unexpectedly” in the coming months.

Everything with ZerO and the Dems is predictable. Beckel is just a DNC patsy on a Conservative network.

Beckel probably has that figure confused with how many $20 prostitutes he has been with this year.
