"Survey: 1 in 6 Americans have witnessed a shooting
Story by Sareen Habeshian • 2h ago
As gun violence remains on the uptick in the U.S., experiences with gun-related incidents are also rising, according to a KFF survey.
What they found: One in five U.S. adults said they've personally been threatened with a gun, and one in six have personally witnessed someone being shot, per the survey.
19% of people reported that a family member was killed by a gun (including death by suicide).
In total, more than half (54%) of all U.S. adults said they or a family member have had such an experience with gun violence."

I agree. BUT the stats matter. WHO was in the survey? Chicago, Atlanta, St Louis, etc, ect. I'm sure a lot of them have witnessed a shooting.
Just another survey to push an agenda.
"There are lies, 'dang' lies, and statistics!"
I would disagree if the hammers would let me!
Does not sound possible to me.... I would like to see the questions used and how it was worded etc.
Hogwash. No doubt.
bull snot
Bring back public hangings or firing squads and I bet this nonsense would stop pretty quick
Bs.
You know it would stop if they saw what would happen to them.
Also I want to ad that especially young men's mind's are warped because of video games....

One of the gun Podcaster was talking about it today
I call BS no way their numbers are right
But he did say they prove a point if they would just look
About its not the gun that transports itself of fires it self and so it has to be a person doing it not the gun
But we all know that
It just not fit the naritive to take away our guns
I think if the peope who have saved them self or the family or even saved even a stranger using their gun to stop a thug and gave them the same airtime and plubicty and desk pounding on what great job they did
A lot of people would change their minds on how many lifes are saved not taken
The hard truth is liberals lie.
All these surveys and not one of them ever asked ME!!
Therefore, all surveys are fixed and used to support various agendas.
The sample size was only 1,200 people and they didn't reveal the population. If they had asked only one person they could have claimed that 100% had witnessed a shooting. Or that nobody ever has.
Exactly. One thing I remember most about my Statistics class in college was you can predict the outcome of a statistic based on the inputs.
Yep.

Smart Alec Baldwin says he did not pull the trigger. the gun done it all by itself.

I've noticed that pencils mis-spell words sometimes.
This was one of the surveys that’s designed to drive news. Dont be surprised if you see it quoted like it’s gospel
Yup. It's exactly like "97% of scientists agree with human-caused climate change". Which was never true.
*survey done in inner-city Chicago.
BS
BS. I believe the full quote included" Or knew someone" again BS -------------------Ray
They will keep repeating the false data until it becomes the truth.
More propaganda created from the left in an attempt to make people afraid.
I have witnessed thousands of shootings. Lotta paper killed. An occasional deer and pronghorn too. Still working on javelina.
Must have witnessed a truck load of those shootings. Love chasing Whitetails. If you sprinkle a little salt on their tails they will stand still for you. ---------------------Ray
