if you remove the deaths from illegal guns in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, New York and Los Angeles (all staunch bastions of the GOP) what does that do to our death rate by guns?

Takes us from #1 to around #117, as I recall from an article last year.

A husband and his blonde wife were arguing.  She suddenly drew a revolver and put it to her temple. "Don't do it, Honey!" cried the alarmed husband. "Shut up!" she said.  "You're next!"

That would be the day that pigs fly. CNN is more of a tabloid than a news outlet.

Wouldn't be great to have a robust data set of death and injury by gone so researchers could tap into that?
