Gun Violence by the numbers

According to the CDC, there were 49 million gun deaths. Ok let’s look at how this really breaks down:

63 to 65 % of these gun deaths are suicide or mental health-related

3-5% accidental gun showings

2-5% of these shootings were Law Enforcement shootings

Ok, then roughly 80% of the gun deaths have nothing to do with a semi-automatic rifle.

School mass shootings only represent .05% of all shootings

gun deaths by Semi-automatic rifles are 3%, this includes all semi-automatic rifles not just the Ar15.

That gives us 84,5% of all shootings, with the remainder 1 5.5%of the shootings being gang homelessness violence.

Do ask yourself where the does the problem really lay?

Mental Health and more action on gang/drug-related violence
