- seattle_spring 9y agoOnly 3% of those gun deaths (less than 1,000 per year) are accidental. I don't mean to downplay the real possibility of people dying from a gun related accident, but using the 30k figure without context is misleading.
- mrb 9y agoI still care about the other "intentional" 97%. Could be my future teen kid getting in an anger fit and murdering someone with the firearm.
