As of 2021, the United States had the 32nd-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world, according to the latest information culled by NPR using data from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), which, according to its website, "tracks lives lost in every country, in every year, by every possible cause of death." In 2019, the latest full year for which information has been made available, the United States saw 3.96 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people. That's 100 times more gun-related deaths than in the United Kingdom, where access to guns by members of the general public is strictly regulated.

--and not aword about who commits the greatest amount of "gun violence"--
The UK thugs use knives instead.
The key statistic needed. Also bet they’re counting suicide in “gun violence”. That’s probably more white. I’m betting blacks are disproportionately over represented otherwise.
Black males are 6 - 7% of the population, yet they commit 50% of the crimes.
“according to the latest information culled by NPR using data from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)”
Taking guns in violation of Amendment II will keep Institute workers very busy counting.
No, it's not. "Shall not be infringed" leaves no wiggle room.
Liberal false flags to push for more gun laws
But we aren’t supposed to say that out loud.
Indeed, black on black violence in our cities is barely reported in the news. But an incident such as the Buffalo shooting gets saturation coverage in the news. And the politicians from the president on down, get into grandstanding on that issue.
In Tennessee Memphis accounts for 48% of all murders, despite having 10.6% of the population.
She just doesn't like guns. Otherwise, she would talk about homicide and suicide rates, not "gun related deaths per 100,000 people."
The answer is in the uniform crime report.
Lauren honey, let’s me and you go to the range next weekend.
You will either have an orgasm or shit your pants.
Should be great fun.
My treat.

There is no gun violence. The violent element is the human. The gun, knife, fist, poison, vehicle, etc, are just objects that are unable to act on their own.
And she cherry picks her data. Yes, the murder rate is lower in the UK where guns are highly restricted, but the murder rates in Central America where guns are also highly restricted is much, much higher than the US.
I have had a firearm on a shelf, just sitting there, since before Obama. It has never turned to fface me, it has never discharged a round towards me, nor has it seemingly come to life and discharge a round, while in my hands.
It is an inanimate object!
Now, in this day and time, were some THUG to decide that THEY dezerve ownership of whatever thing is in my house, and THEY decide when and how TO BREAK INTO MY HOME, I do believe that, that inanimate object will forceably speak the word, “NO!”
‘Gun violence’ isn’t an American problem, it’s a Blue America problem.
If you exclude DC, St Louis, Chicago, New Orleans, and Philly, we drop to something like 190th on the list. If you were to exclude Baltimore and maybe one or two other cities, we’d be pretty much dead last. The problem demonstrably isn’t guns.
If your solution is gun control, Lauren, then the answer is ‘No!’
There is no wiggle room in that or the 2nd Amendment.
No such thing as gun violence
