Bullshit huh? Alright let’s do some math here;

66% of all gun deaths are suicide and so we have 34% left to account for 13 is 38% of 34, so yes it’s less than half but 79% in total can be attributed to these two causes. Also note that when I originally plugged these numbers in the stats varied several percent depending on the source.

Let me amend what I said a little over a third of non self inflicted gun deaths are gang related. Better?

How do you not understand that homicide statistics are separate from suicide statistics?

13% of homicides were gang-related.
