re,,S.C. Congressman...... 'enjoy the kool aid........Ho...HO' South Carolina’s rates of gun crime are some of the worst in the nation. • South Carolina is the seventh-deadliest state for gun homicide: There were 5 gun murders for every 100,000 people in the state in 2010, 39 percent higher than the national average of 3.6 gun murders per 100,000 people. 1 • At two-and-a-half times worse than the national average, South Carolina has the second-worst rate of aggravated assaults with a firearm in the country. 2 The number of South Carolina residents who have been victims of gun violence is staggering. • From 2001 through 2010 there were 5,991 people killed by guns in South Carolina. That’s 15 percent more than all U.S. combat deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.3 • As of 2010, somebody is killed with a gun every 14 hours in the state,4 and an aggravated assault with a firearm occurs every hour and a half.5
