Historians estimate that 6,800 Americans were killed in combat in the Revolutionary War, less than one-sixth of the 45,222 that died from gun-related injuries in the US in the single year of 2020.

Perhaps the most asinine comparison ever made.

Historians estimate that 6,800 Americans were killed in combat in the Revolutionary War, less than one-sixth of the 45,222 that died from gun-related injuries in the US in the single year of 2020

In 1760, the estimated population of America was 1,593,625. For 6800 deaths, that would be 0.004267 of the population killed.

in 2020, the estimated population of America is 325,000,000. For 45,222 deaths, that would be 0.0001372 of the population killed.

Therefore, present day America is actually 31 times safer (with regards to guns).
