"In America's gun violence 'epidemic', Oxford High in Michigan is the 28th school shooting of 2021"
"Tourist shot dead protecting his baby from attack by gunman 'on mushrooms' in Florida"
"Female high school wrestling star shot dead in Chicago after Halloween shopping trip"
Every day, 106 Americans are killed and over 200 are injured by firearms. Americans should be outraged because this type of horror should never be acceptable in a civilized society. It's time that "We the People of the United States" stand together to confront the daily threats of gun violence before it becomes an uncontrollable epidemic.
Unfortunately, the facts show that we need to act soon.
"The Small Arms Survey stated that U.S. civilians alone account for 393 million (about 46 percent) of the worldwide total of civilian-held firearms. This amounts to 120.5 firearms for every 100 residents."
If that's not alarming, how about these facts:
"An abuser's access to a firearm increases the risk of femicide by at least 400%."
"Women in the U.S. are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than in other high-income nations."[1]
