NRATV host: People who kill themselves with guns don't count

In counting down top-three fake news stories about guns from 2017, NRATV host Grant Stinchfield asserted that suicides by firearms shouldn't be counted as "gun deaths," even though they very clearly are deaths by gun. "The final fake news of the year comes in the form of a statistic, the overused 30,000 gun deaths a year," Stinchfield said. "So 2018 is shaping up to be a busy year for us here at NRATV, exposing and correcting fake news has, yes, become a full time job for us," Stinchfield said. In particular, states with high gun ownership rates also often support high suicide rates according to The American Journal of Public Health.
