Midknight Review -- new and revised: Whwn you hear "33,000 a year dead because of gun fire," you really need to be honest about that number.

Whwn you hear "33,000 a year dead because of gun fire," you really need to be honest about that number.

Turns out that the breakdown for "33,000" goes like this: 21,000 dead because of suicide . . . . . yes, SUICIDE. Another 10,000 because of gang violence - gang member on gang member. And 2,000 dead in mass shootings, death by cop, cop assassinations, accidental deaths, murders committed during a robbery or some such criminal event, and domestic shootings.

Understand that this last number is very concerning, but it is not "33,000." In other words, when anti-gun advocates cite "33,000" they are using an inflated number for the sake of winning the argument . . . . . . period . . . . and some of these folks have to know what they are doing.

Keep in mind that "33,000" is quoted when the Left is talking about mass shootings like Thousands Oaks. Turns out that mass shootings similar in scope to Columbine or Thousands Oaks results in 250 dead, annually.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
