Ever since the tragic shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night, legions of celebrities who have very little knowledge of guns, criminal psychology, mental disorders, or any helpful information. Have taken to Twitter or gone on television to offer their “solutions,” to the problem of mass shootings in America.
The latest such incident of ill-informed advice, in the sports world, comes from New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.
On Tuesday, Payton responded to the heinous Las Vegas attack by tweeting claims that, since 1968, more Americans have been killed by guns than have been killed on all battlefields throughout the whole of the American experience.
Payton tweeted:

Note how he followed the claim with the hashtag “common sense.” Ironically, if we look at this death claim comparison via common sense we quickly see it is a a facade.
For example, the number of Americans killed on the Civil War battlefield alone was approximately 620,000 and the number killed in World II was 418,000. From those two wars alone we are already at 1,038,000. Add the approximate 115,000 from WWI, the 35,000 from Korea, and the 58,000 from Vietnam and we are at 1,246,000 without even considering the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Spanish American War, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and others.

Blame his stupidity on CTE.
The nfl is destroying its reputation for manliness: too many people in it are revealing themselves to be insane clown p##sies.
Mostly IN Chicago in gang warfare among blacks. There, clarified.
It is true (including suicides), but disingenuous because saying “killed by guns” implies homicide.
The nfl is conducting a two-year long Wellstone funerally by injecting politics into a place where it does not belong.
We are dealing with those who see guns as animate objects that just jump up and randomly shoot the hades of out folks.
Dear stupid NFL coach:
And more young men and boys are injured playing football than in any other sport, but that doesn’t seem to have much impact on you.
I’d like to see the arrest record numbers (per 1000 members) of the NFL vs the NRA.
Drowning deaths beat firearms deaths
Liberals facts are as valuable as their opinions... Just sayin’
Is that one of those social media stats that all the morons on the left who call themselves “educated” start spouting off without question? do those stats include justifiable homicide, suicide, and accidents?
Also, automobiles probably have killed more than both war and guns. NEXT!
I was reading an article about the carcinogen risk of grilled food and the writer suggested if I was concerned about my health I should keep grilling and stop driving.
funny how liberals scream and call for eugenics, and population control and abortions, and euthenizing the elderly/assisted suicides, etc etc etc- but then they turn around and scream about guns killing people (as though guns are lethal- history shows us that PEOPLE are lethal- not guns- just look at how many abortions are committed) - I guess deaths are only acceptable to the left if it’s done by needle or ice picks to the brains of babies being born in abortion clinics-
GFY, Payton, ya’ pathetic idiot.
Communism has killed more of their own people than all wars combined, both in the last 100 years.
NFHELL death spiral, look out below.
Bull Crap!
Cars kill more people each year than do guns SO WE MUST BAN CARS OR REGULATE THEM OFF THE STREETS.
If we applied the same type of background check to people who want to get drivers’ licenses, our street would be nearly empty and safe for humans and animals.
After the number of terrible drivers I encountered today, I’m all for strict driver control laws, or I should be allowed to armor-up my car like the oil tanker Mel Gibson drove in “Road Warrior”.
I need new hood ornaments and little old ladies would do fine.
