Michael Bloomberg Lumps in Suicides to Inflate 'Illegal Gun' Violence Statistics: When Michael Bloomberg pushes his gun control agenda, he lumps together suicides and murders to inflate "illegal gun" statistics.
For example, during his April 16th appearance on Today, Bloomberg said, "31,000 Americans either get murdered or commit suicide with illegal guns [each year]."
The figure, "31,000," is a gross conflation of the approximate 8,500 murders with firearms during a given year and the approximate 19,000 suicides with a firearm during a given year.
