The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released statistics on gun deaths in the Untied States recently that show “155,000 people were shot in 2016, a 28 per cent increase from the gun deaths seen in 2015.” What the British paper failed to realize is that Trump didn’t take office until January 2017. The Independent waited until the last paragraph of the article to let its readers know “Suicides comprised roughly 60 per cent of the shooting deaths in 2016.”  More

  1. Not surprising since we were on a path to Venezuela with Revrum Wright´s “God-Damn America”-hating, radical Communist-Organizing Maladroit Marxist Muzlim Mallard and his Third World, Socialist Communist values! If Hillary had been made President it wouldn’t be too long before the “It Takes a Village” Idiots would be standing around 50 gallon drum fires cooking raccoons, rats and City Chicken (pigeons) for dinner!

  2. Some of this had to be because the Obama administration did not want to prosecute those who were likely to commit gun violence. They were more interested in letting that violence increase so they would have an excuse to take guns away from law abiding Americans.

  3. “155,000 people were shot in 2016, a 28 per cent increase from the gun deaths seen in 2015.” – that is not correct, an intentional lie designed to inflate the reality. Shot means hit by a bullet, gun deaths is a subset and is not 155,000. Regardless of the data, the headline is absolute BS. Nowhere in the article does it state the number of gun-related deaths in either 2015 or 2016.
    This is modern journalism.
