Former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords’ gun control group, Giffords, has labeled a recent police officer’s accidental fatal discharge of a firearm as “unintentional gun violence.” NBC News reported that Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department investigator Wayne David accidentally shot himself Wednesday while recovering a gun discarded by a criminal during a chase.
The weapon had been thrown into a storm drain, and while David was retrieving it, he accidentally fired the weapon, resulting in his death. In response to this incident, Giffords labeled it as “unintentional gun violence.
Officer David’s tragic accident underscores the fact that even those with years of law enforcement experience are vulnerable to unintentional gun violence. Our thoughts go out to his family during this difficult time.
It should be noted that members of the left have a history of inflating “gun violence” numbers with ambiguous claims. For example, during the 2016 presidential race, then-candidate Hillary Clinton increased “gun violence” statistics by 66% during a speech in New York. She claimed there had been approximately 33,000 annual deaths in the U.S. due to “gun violence” (according to 2013 numbers), and she did this by lumping all gun-related deaths – homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths – under the banner of “gun violence.
In other words, Clinton took accidental deaths and homicides – which equaled approximately 11,700 – then added more than 21,000 firearm-related suicides, rounded the number off at “33,000,” and called it all “gun violence.
To further explore this issue, AWR Hawkins recently spoke to Young America’s Foundation about how people with good intentions and guns can positively impact society. He argued that responsible gun ownership is essential for maintaining personal safety and protection against potential threats. This perspective aligns with the mission of Giffords, which aims to advocate for common-sense gun control measures while still recognizing the importance of firearms in protecting people from harm.
