""Since 1970, more than 1.45 million people have died from guns, which is more than in all the wars in American history"
Your stats are just a tad out there.
World War II fatality statistics vary, with estimates of total deaths ranging from 70 million to 85 million. Deaths directly caused by the war, military and civilians killed are estimated at 50-56 million people. There were an additional estimated 19 to 28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine."
funny ----------------- all my history books say that WW2 was before 1970
maybe there's an alternative history though that I'm not aware of
