SNIP equals less than 1% of Americans being effected by gun violence.
Dear ....
Cites for facts, solid statistical analysis*, civility?
*Assuming your facts and math to be correct, the only way the percentage holds is everybody shot or suicided is a loner with no family. Separately, there's gotta be a lot of people who don't die after getting shot. Were those included in your stats, or are they a separate stat for "gun violence"?

The facts are more or less correct, on average yearly 30,000 people are killed by guns every year. The math was correct, simple formula for averages. If you want to include wounding and friends and family trauma tized, then the number would be closer to 10%and thats per year. If this happens year after year, your looking at epidemic numbers.

Still do not see the requested cite - that and your numbers and conclusion would appear inconsistent with respected, independent studies. What follows is a cite.
"Since 1993, the United States has seen a drop in the rate of homicides and other violence involving guns, according to two new studies released Tuesday. Using government data, analysts saw a steep drop for violence in the 1990s, they saw more modest drops in crime rates since 2000."
"Firearm-related homicides dropped from 18,253 homicides in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011," according to a report by the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, "and nonfatal firearm crimes dropped from 1.5 million victimizations in 1993 to 467,300 in 2011."

Archipley who wrote the article is a want-a-be journalist who now wishes to be a 'publisher' so now 'publishes' three internet newspapers from his retirement community center. http://mukilteobeacon.villagesoup.com/p/meet-beacon-publisher-paul-archipley/1013298/153299
one would believe a 'seasoned' journalist would try to validate their stats as well as un-bias their emotional rant. guess not
