Scarborough Says There Are 33,000 Gun Deaths Every Year

[GURPS]

There’s one key factor that Scarborough left out: the huge percentage of gun deaths by suicide.

As Jazz Shaw pointed out in 2015, according to the CDC itself, in 2011 there were indeed roughly 33,000 gun deaths in the United States — but 21,175 of them were suicides. In addition, roughly 2,500 resulted from accidents and unintentional injuries.

Shaw went further: “Of the actual 8,583 gun murders committed in 2011, 323 were committed with “rifles.” And that’s all rifles, including bolt action, deer hunting rifles and all the rest. The number committed with so called “assault rifles” were a fraction of that.“

More people read DailyWire's incessant promotion of Joe Scarborough than actually watch Joe Scarborough directly. Why do you suppose DW wants to give him all this free publicity?

Same with Sean Hannity. More people know about Morning Joe by watching Hannity than have ever actually watched Morning Joe.

It's just preaching to the choir because I can guarantee you that very few people who watch Morning Joe also watch Hannity or read DailyWire. I, for one, give precisely zero craps what Joe Scarborough is raving about on his show that nobody watches.
