        Okay @BBCBreaking I'm ready for the NRA "If only the journalists had been armed this would have been averted." rhetoric.

        @rampagelana I enjoy the deafening silence when those people are presented with facts I know they'll never agree, but at least they shut up.

        @ChrisGarratty @rampagelana regardless of my opinion the image is depicting rifle deaths (due to criticism of AR-15 sales after Newtown)

        @evan4623 @rampagelana I see, that data has 285 deaths by rifle. The "others" category doesn't distinguish between types.
