How do mass murders by gun compare to murders by DWI every year?
My quick google check gave me 11,000 for DWI and 200 for mass shootings.
I did not go through the LONG list on wikipedia to see what they considered a mass murder.
Real number may be lower.
I think that 3 or more dead...maybe it’s dead or wounded...is the standard for a mass shooting. I’ve seen a 40 % number thrown around for DUII calamities by unlicensed drivers, many illegal aliens, no doubt
The list on wikipedia was SO LONG that I have my doubts about its veracity.
You’re not implying that maybe anti-gun types would go there and fluff up the stats, are you?
Gun Control:
Democrats want you defenseless so that they can harm you.
Democrats want to hurt you.
NEVER!!
Seriously though, the list doesn’t end!!!
A LOT with NO deaths.
An awful lot.
I always connect mass shootings with at least one death.
I think another FReeper said 4 injured counts also.
NO MATTER how you look at it there is NO COMPARISON between DWI and these shootings.
Ban cars. Ban drivers. Ban roads!!
There is no Constitution without free speech and there is no free speech without the right to bear arms.
You can’t depend on 911 or the police; you have to be 911.
You are responsible for your own and your family’s safety and well being; everything else is just being a victim.
