  For fatal gun injuries you’re right, but about 50% of all non fatal gun injuries are caused unintentionally. There seems to be about 43k unintentional gun injuries per year(source). In comparison in total there are 47k gun deaths per year.

  So yeah not negligible in the slightest.

    I’m not sure it’s reminiscent of blaming trans people for mass shootings

        If so that’s one of the few accurate things he’s said, assuming one trusts the statistics from the FBI
