EDIT: 1,516,863 gun-related deaths between 1968 and 2015

1,396,733 cumulative war deaths since the American Revolution.

Madness.
do guns commit suicide or do they need a helper?
 
At least someone in Congress has the balls to stand up to the NRA, and all those 2nd Admendment nut fucking cases.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said Monday that he won’t participate in a moment of silence on the House floor for victims of Sunday night's deadly mass shooting Las Vegas.

“As after #Orlando, I will NOT be joining my colleagues in a moment of silence on the House Floor that just becomes an excuse for inaction,” Moulton tweeted Monday.

“Now is not a moment for silence; it's a time for action.”

Moulton was one of several Democratic lawmakers who refused to take part in a moment of silence in the House for the victims of the deadly mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., in June 2016.

Moulton has pushed for Congress to pass gun control legislation in the past — he was one of many Democrats who held a sit-in on the House floor after the Pulse shooting to try and force Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to bring gun control legislation up for a vote, which of course didn't happen, because their a bunch of cunts, paid for bitches of the NRA

He should take a knee on the House floor...
 
Because shooting yourself in the head with a gun is not a gun death.

Got it. Thanks, nazi.
CDC and Washington Post disagree......

.......according to new mortality data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2014, the age-adjusted death rate for both firearms (including homicides, suicides and accidental deaths) and motor vehicle events (car crashes, collisions between cars and pedestrians, etc) stood at 10.3 deaths per 100,000 people.

[Also from the article]
..... Gun homicide rates have actually fallen in recent years, but those gains have been offset by rising gun suicide rates. Today, suicides account for roughly two out of every three gun deaths.

Link for the falling gun homicide rates from the Washington Post articled linked below just in case..

Are you saying shooting yourself in the head with a gun is not a gun death?
If a gun kills you, yes, its a gun death.....otherwise you are just in Chicago. Every ten weeks is the Vegas equivalent but on repeat every ten weeks for the last 4 decades or so; wonder why that isn't brought up more....especially gun control....what is Chicago's problem and what is Mandalay Bay's for that matter?
Please elucidate.....

There's not much concerted outrage about this.

Maybe it hasn't been politicized enough.

At least no ones said sympathy's not deserved because the Chicago victims are often Republican.
