(6,635 posts)to the victims who have died due to the negligence of "legal gun owners." Statistics can only measure the information which is reported and available. Another DOJ and CDC statistic you gun apologists often fail to recognize is the 30,000 gun deaths in the USA annually, plus the thousands of additional gun injures.
The NRA, and self-righteous people like you, have seen to it that millions of private sales of lethal weapons at gun shows and by unscrupulous "collectors" are all undocumented and done out of sight. The DOJ has no idea how many loose unaccountable weapons are out there, or what they are used for -- until there's another mass killing.
And finally, the only thing you could answer from my entire post was to support your use of (yes, pointless -- not inaccurate, but pointless in the grand scheme of things) statistics? Try again.
