Fake News Exposed: Accidental Gun Deaths Plummet To All-Time Low



Overall, in 2015, there were 146,571 accidental deaths in America (cars, prescription drugs, falls), meaning the 489 firearms deaths ranks somewhere close to a statistical zero.

Based on the number of background checks, a whopping 52,600 guns were purchased every day during Obama's 8-year presidency. A total of 141.1 million background checks were done and 46 million new firearms were produced.

And yet, despite the fact that more than 100 million Americans own somewhere around 300 million guns, despite all the hysteria we constantly hear from the national media and other gun-grabbers about the how dangerous it is to have a gun in your home, from the looks of it, you would be much safer if you kept the gun and removed the bathtub.

Add to this the fact that between July 2014 and July 2015, nearly 300 innocent Americans avoided being victims of dangerous criminal thanks to the fact they own a firearm. This number is considered low for a number of reasons, including the deterrent factor.

Left-wing outlets such as PolitiFact have tried to dismiss the decrease in accidental gun deaths with the claim that improved emergency room procedures deserve some credit for the decrease. This is absurd on its face when you consider the combined explosion of our population and the number of gun owners. Nevertheless, even if that were true, these improved emergency room procedures would, then, decrease all accidental deaths, and they are not. In 2015, overall accidental deaths actually rose 8% over the previous year, while accidental gun deaths fell 17%.
