So far in 2022 . . .

Every day there were:

188 people shot (killed or injured).

66 suicides by gun, a very permanent solution to a usually temporary situation.

40 were homicides.

3 were accidental.

2 of them were under the age of 11.

1 of them was a bad guy shot by a good guy with a gun.

On average 5,000 guns are sold in America every day.

If this is the 'price of freedom' why do only innocent people pay it?

Do something about it. Resources.
