RE: The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Medical Error - Fighting Bad Statistics

I was going to correct the image but then I saw the part where you said out of homicides there are only 300-500 killed with guns... So I can't argue that... I was just going to say that if you count suicides and otherwise, I mean in 2016 Texas had over 3,000 fatalities caused by firearms.

    This is specifically for the Rifles. FBI statistics separate firearms into:

    • handguns, about 6 000 homicides
    • rifles, about 300
    • shotguns, about 300
    • other guns, about 100
    • not known firearms, about 2 000
      Table

    The context of that meme is the proposal to ban semi-auto rifles that gained bad reputation after mass shootings
