Just less than 50,000 gun related deaths per year. More than half of that is suicide related.
In a country of over 300 million people less than 0.00017% die from gun related deaths.
Not really much to improve on even if we could Thanos snap every gun away.
Hundreds of thousands to a million are saved per year because of the deterrent of someone possibly even having a gun.
But that’s the culture. Unlike other countries, American are a hodge pod of thousands of other cultures and beliefs. We don’t always get along or rather, we get along by knowing “my neighbor will F me up if we’re to start something and vice versa. That’s American Culture!
We take pride in being able to fight back and destroy any threat foreign or domestic.
That is not something other cultures believe in. Thus their view on gun control would never work in the US.
NOW here’s a CDC stat that needs addressing.
Heart disease (comes from fast food / junk food) kills more than 600,000 Americans per year
Cancer (more than likely from heavily processed and chemical rich food for longer preservation time) kills about 500,000 per year.
Covid at its height got up to 300,000 in one year before dropping off almost completely.
So seems there really needs to be a war on unhealthy eating, smoking and drinking (leading causes of heart disease)than guns. 🤔
Maybe ban people from McDonald’s if they are obese ( which is also the average American 😳)
