Did you know that when it comes to counting the amount of gun violence in a year? That no one has ever bothered to count the amount of legal gun violence in the USA?

Every gun violence statistic counts illegal guns sold on the black market, police gun violence, etc. all mixed together with legal gun violence to get their statistics.

Did you know that gun violence by mass shooting statistics is actually the lowest form of gun violence? Did you know that officer shot or killed is the second lowest?

So what is the highest statistics in gun violence? It's officer-involved shooting and killing! At first glance, you may look at the numbers and believe that teen involved gun violence is the highest. As anyone who has taken even the most basic statistics course can tell you. This is extremely poor statistical analysis since it doesn't tell us how the gun violence occurred in the first place. Could they have been shot by a cop?

What is the second highest statistical analysis? Home invasion right? So isn't this self-defense? After all, this is why people own guns, to begin with. The third most shooting involved violence is similar to the second most, it's defensive use. Again isn't this why people own guns? If you were to combine the second and the third most since they are similar then the most gun violence, is involved in stopping a crime from occurring in the first place?

So were the founding fathers right about the second amendment?  Looking at these charts and statistics. I would say yes it has worked. So why pay attention to an incident that is not likely to happen? Isn't the media showing an obvious sign of bias here?
