    It matters because the Gun Violence Archive and the uncritical mass media are inflating the statistic to make people scared so they can push an agenda

    Bullshit. You’re attacking it because it’s counter to your agenda.

    Republicans, right-wing media, the gun lobby and the pro-gun community routinely fearmonger as a way to boost their own profits and power.

    Not only do you not care when they do it, you’ve enthusiastically put yourself and your own family in more danger because of it.

    You’re hopelessly compromised and your thoughts about how gun violence statistics are about as trustworthy as a cops views on police brutality statistics.
