  • An armed society is a polite deadly society.

    In 2021, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 48,830 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S. In 2021, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (26,328), while 43% were murders (20,958), according to the CDC.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ Besides the ~ 21.000 Murder every year, imagine people would have access to mental health care or a controlled way for people to end their life if they (after consultation) really do not want to continue their lifes. People would not need to use guns to end themself.

    Do pro gun advocates cheer for the people who use guns to end themself? I never saw the NRA saying that they are fighting for the right of people to end themself as this is the biggest outcome apprently. 54% of the Time people fire a gun to kill, it is to kill a gun owner (themself).
