I agree with Sable, those comments stood out to me as well. Just thinking back, the Vietnam War was about 10 years long and how many died there, 59,000 or so. I think 160,000 is a pretty big number. Also, I believe suicides by gun gets counted as a homicide and there are about 20,000 suicide by gun per year.
