Ever since the tragic shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night, legions of celebrities who have very little knowledge of guns, criminal psychology, mental disorders, or any helpful information have taken to Twitter or gone on television to offer their “solutions” to the problem of mass shootings in America.

The latest such incident of ill-informed advice, in the sports world, comes from New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.

On Tuesday, Payton responded to the heinous Las Vegas attack by tweeting claims that, since 1968, more Americans have been killed by guns than have been killed on all battlefields throughout the whole of the American experience.

As a Saints fan.....

Coach you need to focus on your porous defense of the past 3 years, rather than commenting on guns.

As a Saints fan,I have to say he is a decent coach and has a SB ring to show for it. 

Politics wise ....  you are right ....    he is incompetent and stupid

Those inanimate objects are deciding to kill people?

Well, technically if he included all those killed on the battlefield with guns in the total number killed with guns...

Yeah, that he gives him way too much credit.

Most people killed by firearms are suicides (over 66%).

That's right, I heard I think Rush saying that. Most gun deaths are suicides.

  • I could eat it raw but why when I have fire
The stats are very clear.   The suicide rate does not fall when guns are banned.  The crime rate goes up.  Yes gun crime will go down, not as much as you would expect, but violent crime goes up a lot.

I find that with most people like this coach, once a narrative is adopted and entrenched, facts won't penetrate their mind
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

He probably got it from this news story. This will be parroted by liberals everywhere.
