It’s hard to imagine, but there really are people who believe the whole “trigger pulls the finger” foolishness.
There are about 81 million Americans who legally own guns. They own 350 to 400 million firearms, including about 29 million rifles like the AR-15, AK-47, etc. A recent survey reported that half of Americans live in a household with a gun. That’s almost 63 million households with guns.
According to the CDC, there were 48,204 gun-related deaths in 2022. 19,651 were homicides, 27,032 were suicides. The majority of the homicides were not committed using legally owned guns, but we’ll ignore that for now.
Those 46,683 deaths would account for less than 0.06% of gun owners, even if legally possessed guns were involved in all of them.
How can those people believe these myths when they’re so easily disproven?
I guess P.T. Barnum was right: There’s a gun control fan born every minute.
