Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

In the USA there are two terrble new statistics.

Citizens are more likelly to die as a result of a firearm than be killed in a traffic accident.


Motor vehicle traffic deaths

• Number of deaths: 45,404
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 13.7

Source:
All firearm deaths

• Number of deaths: 48,830
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 14.7

Source:



The leading cause of death in children and teens is as the result of a firearm.


Firearms accounted for nearly 19% of childhood deaths (ages 1-18) in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wonder databaseKFF analysis.

Look, gun deaths have increased under Biden along with almost every other violent crime. Many are the result of the war on police and the massive influx of drugs along our southern border. Biden built this.

... the problem with guns in the USA is multi-generational and multi-presidential.

With 400 million guns in the hands of 330 million US citizens, I fear the USA has passed the tipping point on sensible guns laws and sensible gun saftey being able to protect society.

Gun sales have been accelerating as more and more people feel lonely or not safe with constant news about daily gun violence.

The environment will soon suffer the same fate unless greater investments and regualtions are put into place to protect the planet from human activity.

What is your solution?


FYI - No matter what state of city that I've lived in...this remains the one constant.

Gun violence disproportionately impacts Black and LatinX Communities.
Every year, on average, 9,991 Black Americans die by gun violence. Of those:


8,251 die from gun homicide


1,447 die from gun suicide.


Black Americans compose 59% of victims of gun homicide but only 14% of the US population.


Black Americans experience 8 times as many gun homicides as white Americans. And Black children and teens (ages 1-17) are three times more likely to be killed with a gun than their white peers.


Every year, on average, 3,800 Latinos die due to gun violence


2,508 are homicides


1,102 are suicides


114 are undetermined intent or legal intervention


76 are unintentional shootings

I'm still waiting on the solution. One of you wants to ban gun clips? Is that the plan?
