   It’s One Of The Craziest Internet Rumors About Guns. And As It Turns Out, It’s True.

   It’s a fact so jaw-dropping it’s unbelievable — people thought it was a crazy Internet rumor until Politifact verified it. But it’s true: More Americans have died just since 1960 from gun incidents — suicides, accidents, and homicides — than died in every war in U.S. history. The deadliest war the U.S. has ever had is the war we waged against ourselves.

       True statistic, but misleading graph. Please note that the scale starts at 1.1 Million, not at zero.

       I’d like to point out the scale starts at 1.1 million and not 0. The chart sets it up as if four times as many people...
