[ATCclears]

The rate of gun deaths in the U.S. reached a 28-year high in 2021 after sharp increases in homicides of Black men and suicides among white men, an analysis of federal data showed.

A record 48,953 deaths in the U.S., or about 15 fatalities per 100,000 people, were caused by guns last year, said the analysis published Tuesday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Gun deaths declined in the 1990s, but have been rising steadily over the past decade and skyrocketed during the Covid-19 pandemic, said researchers who conducted the analysis.

Conversely, this is proof positive of the failure of medical, social service and policing to intervene with persons at risk of self-harm or harm to others.

By the guns. All by themselves.

They never ever indicate what percentage really, really NEEDED shooting!
I'd figure it would be at least 75%!
