The correct answer is zero. Guns don't kill, people do, libtards.

P.S. I've pm'd my snowflake guess.

Prepare yourself for promotion. I got confused and gave a brilliant answer to a different question.

Was it 42? If so you're probably right.

That would have been a better answer 

I missed the ‘excluding deaths from suicide’ part of the question.

Not sure how they differentiate "suicide by cop" and "accidental discharge of a fire arm because you left a gun in the back of the car with a toddler" type statistics.

How many people were killed by a gun in the USA, of the year 2017 (excludes suicides).

@The_Kincardine v @alang1993 

@Ziggy v @welshbairn  

Answers by PM deadline 07:00 Monday Thai time. (My answer and source is final and will be published with the results).

Good Luck.

Is 'too few' an acceptable answer?

Score are in the for the playoffs.

@The_Kincardine Not a clue but I've arrived at my answer by multiplying UK gun deaths by 3 and then by 10.  So 12,000.

V

@alang1993 Could be miles off , but my guess is 12,045

@Ziggy I vaguely remember reading that a million had been killed by guns since the 70’s  so assuming that it’s getting worse I’m just gonna divide 1m by 40 and add some for luck. 

My answer is 34,683 and 1/2.

V

@welshbairn25 thousand is my guess.

Correct answer. 15,586.

Best reasoning ever on a quiz-off.  Shame @Ziggy got pumped.

The BBC says that there were 33,594 gun deaths in the US in 2017.

I can’t remember what I guessed but it was really close to that.

It’s just a shame I overlooked the excluding suicide part of the question!

well done Welshbairn (ya p***k!)

15,000 is much lower than I thought. It's going to take longer for gun owners in America to kill each other off, so the rules will be changed, than old c***s dying off over here so we can finally reverse Brexit and/or get independence.
