SOME STATS:
Fentanyl — 50 times more potent than heroin — has fueled the deadliest drug epidemic in American history. From 2013 through 2017, more than 67,000 people died of synthetic-opioid-related overdoses, the majority of them from fentanyl. In 2018, another 31,473 Americans died, according to the latest available figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The left ignores 30,000 overdose deaths per year but the “real” crisis is rifles, which are involved in a few hundred deaths a year.
