Firearms deaths.
_______
That’s actually very misleading, just an antigun propaganda.
First - why it matters how somebody got killed. Killing is killing! By guns or by knives, by hanging or burning alive or being beaten to death. I, personally, would prefer a clean shot to all other alternatives.
In countries with very strict gun control, there may not be too many firearms deaths, but the overall murder rate could be bigger then here.
Secondly. The gun deaths often include suicides and accidents. ( And the suicides are again a lot more common than murders)It may make sense, if you got gun in closet and you want to finish it all, you will pull the gun. Otherwise, you will kill yourself anyway, but using different technique.
The gun ownership very well corelates with gun suicides (The Switzerland leads the world in gun suicides!).
But is does not at all corelates with overall suicide rates. I guess Hungary leads in that category.
What matters is the death rate, not the instrument used for killing.
Finally, we should target the worst problem first!
the gun deaths, even including suicides, are a lot less than car accident deaths. The fentanyl deaths dwarf the car deaths and gun deaths added together by a lot (3x)!
And all that is trumped by legal abortions!
So, if we want to save lives, we should start with abortions and then the drugs!
then maybe cars.
When everything above is taken care of, then. maybe, one can start thinking about guns.
Then, maybe airplanes and nukes - those have incredible safety records, but media reports on even slightest incidents in that area!
Unfortunately, the media has its priorities totally reversed!.
Perhaps actually check statistics before pontificating.
