During the second Democrat presidential debate, frontrunner Hillary Clinton made an astonishing – and wholly inaccurate – claim about guns and gun violence.
“Since we last debated in Las Vegas, nearly 3,000 people have been killed by guns. Two hundred children have been killed. This is an emergency,” she said, as reported by The Associated Press.
During the same period, she also claimed that there have been 21 mass shootings, “including one last weekend in Des Moines where three were murdered.”
Perhaps because she’s a liberal Democrat and former Obama Administration official, Clinton isn’t used to being accurately fact-checked by the mainstream media and, as such, she feels she can say just about anything without being challenged.
However, the AP actually did fact-check her, and accurately.
In fact, the AP reported that over the period of time that Clinton referenced:
The Gun Violence Archive has recorded 11,485 gun deaths in the U.S. so far this year, an average of just under 1,000 per month, making Clinton’s figure appear to be highly exaggerated. The archive had more detailed data for children and teenagers, showing 70 from those age groups killed by firearms since the Democratic candidates debated Oct. 13 – not 200 as she claimed.
