Chinese officials recorded the deadliest day for the coronavirus thus far: 242 deaths, which brings the total to 1,357.

That’s very concerning, of course. And tragic.

Now let’s do gun deaths in the United States. Since New Year’s day. The total is 4,557. Now, yes, the majority of those deaths are by suicide. So let’s take out the suicide gun deaths and we still have… 1,719 deaths. Which is still more than 20% higher than the coronavirus death total. If only we could quarantine gun owners.
