there's denial
and then there are facts:
In 2023, the U.S. gun death rate was approximately 13.7 deaths per 100,000 people, though this figure is a slight decrease from previous years, reaching a total of over 46,000 deaths.
While the overall death rate declined, gun suicides hit a record high, and firearms remained the
leading cause of death for children and adolescents aged 1–17. The U.S. has some of the highest firearm mortality rates among high-income countries, both overall and for children and teenagers.
Among high-income countries, the U.S. ranks first for firearm homicides per capita among populations over 10 million.
Some U.S. states have gun death rates closer to those seen in countries experiencing active conflict.
European data: Rates of gun deaths per 100,000 inhabitants vary by country. For example, in 2023, Albania's rate was 0.89 and Sweden's was 0.5.
High-income countries: Compared to other high-income countries, the U.S. has significantly higher rates of gun violence.
Global context: A study found that the U.S. is one of six countries that account for over half of global gun deaths.
Correlation with gun availability
Studies suggest a link between firearm availability and rates of firearm injury, with more available firearms correlated with more frequent injuries.
BUT lets not get ahead of us.
