21. No it doesn't
Edited on Wed Feb-16-11 07:21 PM by russ1943
The 34 AMERICANS ARE MURDERED WITH GUNS EVERY DAY do not, repeat DO NOT include suicides, legal interventions, unintentional or undetermined intent. WISQARS most recent injury Mortality Reports are through 2007. http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html
12,352 in 2005 avg divided by 365 days in year = 33.9 per day
12,791 in 2006 “ = 35.1 “
12,632 in 2007 “ = 34.7 “



If the sign on the truck didn't clearly identify the number as MURDERED WITH GUNS EVERY DAY and read something like KILLED WITH GUNS EVERY DAY the number would be 85 per day.


Even though it isn't really relevant; How about a link/source for your claim re suicides.
