The majority of those deaths are suicides. They should not be counted. If someone wants to find a permanent solution to a temporary problem they can find a way. Guns are just convenient, and relatively certain and painless.

Of the rest, that actually involve one person shooting another, a large proportion, about 45%, are scum killing scum at no net loss to society (the normal Chicago weekend).

The actual incidents of innocent people being murdered by gun-wielding criminal scum is actually rather low - less than a quarter of the total.

You can find your own stats. Google is your friend.

LOL! Google is my ‘friend’? I feel so much better now knowing that. Didn’t do the math, but statistically, small number when/if comparing the number of firearms vs population in the country. Adjust as needed to fit your end game. :>}
