I can't really tell. Are you saying Thera is posting inaccurate information? You just posted there were approx. 29,000 gun deaths in the US 6 years ago. What makes 30,000 so inaccurate? Where's your source?
Also, do you think it's wise to use the UK as an example when we have 6x the population and 400x as many gun deaths? That link indicates ~70 gun deaths in the UK while we have more than that every day in this country.
No, I said that there were a bit over 12,000 murders total in 1999. The actual number was 12,658. Of which, 8,259 were by firearm. It is an acknowledged fact by every police agency in the country that crime has been going steadily down since the early 90s.
So yes, Thera did post inaccurate information. Using the figure she did, I even recognized the source. Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, where he intentional lied about the number of US gun deaths by including the suicide figures, and then compared his US figures to other countries by not including their suicide figures. But hey, what do you expect from the guy who called one of MLK's best friends a racist?
