President says āepidemic of gun violence is tearing our communities apartā after mass shootings in Philadelphia, Fort Worth, Baltimore and Chicago
Is there an acceptable figure?
Try the other way around: how much gun control would impact in the total suicide number?
This is the sad reality. Gun violence is generally committed by sick people. Similarly, I saw this chart a few years back on Australian gun/knife violence. The plots are mirrored. Violence is sort of static.
Itās much more likely to survive a stabbing than to survive a shooting.
I donāt recall the origin of that or whether thatās the exact wording but the general idea at least has stuck with me.
