57. Counting accidents as the same as homicides

is an old gun-grabber trick. Suicides too.

They lump them all in together and call them all gun homicides. And even still fall far short.

And I think the "argument over numbers" is relevant. How many people are dying objectively is worth noting. Are you saying you would not like to argue over the objective part, but rather the subjective? Like how do guns make you feel? And are the victims of gun crimes more dead than the victims of drunk driving?
