On Gun Control: Deaths and injuries every month from senseless gun violence

Ojeda tweeted that "75-100 folks (are) killed a month and over 200 wounded by senseless gun violence." In fact, Ojeda understated the number of deaths and injuries from guns. His numbers are roughly right for gun deaths and injuries per day, rather than per month. We rate his statement Mostly False.
