You would think that this writer would check facts before going to press. There are too many outright lies in the article to list. However, one I am totally familiar with is his last paragraph were he says more than twice the number of Americans were killed last year than in the Revolutionary War. Fact: No accurate numbers are known about how many were killed in the war. However, it is widely agreed that number is around 25,000. On average, 12,000 American are killed every year by firearms. That is all causes of firearms death, including accidents and self inflected death. According to Politifact and several other publications, in 2016, there were 11,876 deaths from all sources of firearms in America. Hardly the twice as many as during the total Revolutionary War as claimed.
