General Gun Violence Statistics
Back to top

FACT: In 2001, gun violence killed 29,573 Americans:

11,348 in homicides (38% of all US gun deaths)
16,869 in suicides (57% of all US gun deaths)
802 in unintentional shootings (3% of all US gun deaths), and
554 in legal interventions or undetermined incidents (2% of all US gun deaths)

Dipidy-Doo!
You seem pretty content with gun violence in your own back yard.

U.S military and the few allies are doing what needs to be done for the long term peace of the world( weather you like it or not). The lives lost in the middle east is tragic but not in vain. People killed in the U.S by guns is also tragic,but also avoidable and STUPID!
