How many of these incidents were cops shooting suspects?
How many of these incidents were homeowners defending themselves in their homes?
How many of these incidents were gang on gang shootings and killings?
How many of these incidents involved semiautomatic modern sporting rifles?
How many of these incidents involved fully automatic weapons that we keep hearing about?
How many of these incidents led to someone being arrested?
How many of these incidents are being investigated as possible or probable self defense shootings?

How many people were killed in bathtub accidents, auto accidents or violent non firearm hostilities on each of those days.

The truth may be hard for some to handle but sometimes we really do need a comparative perspective.
