Of those 125 “killed by a gun”, 91 of the “victims” pulled the trigger themselves. There’s about 34 gun murders per day in the US.
If you’re looking for a population where one person is murdered daily, you need to start with about 10,440,000 people.
The problem isn’t that people are killing themselves. The problem is desperation. For far too many in our dystopian society, death is the brightest hope that some will ever see. The solution to gun suicide is unfucking this massive shitstained clusterfuck, not depriving the desperate of their 9mm retirement plans.
