I assume that said number is the current number of legal firearms owners minus the daily average of firearms deaths. | You reckon the scores of gunshot killings yesterday were all done by folks who borrowed the guns?
Or is the point supposed to be that most of the gun owners didn't kill someone yesterday, only some did?

| It's funny, because I doubt many people today have the guts to smell their victims last breath as they look them in the eye while they slide off the blade in agonizing death.

You need to read harder chief. 64 million gun owners killed NO-ONE yesterday, and you managed to find a few news stories about the other gun owners who do NOT fall into the 64 million he mentioned.
He did not lie, you failed to lucidly comprehend what he wrote.
Your accusational apparatus seems fine but I think you need an overhaul on your literacy module. |
