I think the numbers are also hard to count because local law enforcement has a lot of latitude on whether to declare a gun death a homicide or not. A child shooting his sibling can be called an "accidental death" rather than an "accidental homicide."

(Note: homicide doesn't mean deliberate; it just means killing of a person by another person.)

Someone maybe oughta tell the AP that editorializing a Republican debate with nothing except Obama's blatantly misleading and laughably hole-filled talking points is not, in fact, "Fact Checking".

Lazy drivel, more aptly.
