Question: How little does the media know about guns?
Answer: From the AP, the actual MSNBC headline: “Surprising fact: Half of gun deaths are suicides.†This should surprise no one — except those who have fallen for the manipulation of statistics by the anti-gun lobby.

Answer: No. From a Sacramento Bee editorial: “Some 30,000 Americans die every year from gun violence, a gun death toll greater than anywhere in Europe or Japan.†Plod on, oh Ignoramus Rex. Oblivion awaits.
Sigh.
