2 children killed, 20 wounded while praying in their pews at Annunciation Catholic School; ‘Incomprehensible cowardice’

The US has high gun violence due to a unique combination of widespread gun ownership, permissive gun laws, and deeply rooted cultural factors like gun culture and a unique political polarization around firearms.

A new report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions underscores the continuing epidemic of gun deaths in the U.S., including among children. The Center is based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The report, Gun Violence in the United States 2022: Examining the Burden Among Children and Teens, assessed the latest finalized data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, highlighting that 48,204 people, the second highest on record, died from gunshots in the U.S. in 2022, including 27,032 suicides, an all-time high for the country.
The annual report’s major focus this year is on gun deaths among children ages 1 to 17. In the U.S., gun death rates in this age group have increased by 106 percent since 2013 and have been the leading cause of death among this group since 2020.

The irony of that is John Hopkins is located in one of the worst crime ridden ghetto slums in Baltimore.

Go check where Baltimore ranks on the list of cities with violent crimes and crimes involving a gun. A self fulfilling prophecy.

Guns don't kill people... psycho trannies do.

That people used to mail order guns and buy them at a hardware store and there were relatively few shootings tells me the real issue behind the level of violence is a loss of morality. There is less value placed on human life, which runs concurrent with atheists taking over our system, convincing people they are nothing more than an accident, cosmic ooze, and that life is meaningless.

Less than one tenth of one percent of mass shootings involve a trans person, which makes it statistically insignificant. The overwhelming majority of shooters are right wing cis men, yet that pattern rarely drives headlines.

What we are seeing is the right wing predictably jumping on these reports to stir up their base. Rather than dealing with the real drivers of mass violence like guns being everywhere and extremist rhetoric spreading online, they zero in on a marginalized group. It is not about understanding the facts, it is about creating a convenient villain.

The bias is obvious. When shooters are cis white men, the story shifts to individual failings or vague nods to mental health. When a shooter is reported as trans, political operatives suddenly push the idea that it reflects an entire community. That is scapegoating, and it distracts from any real effort to prevent future shootings.

Then explain why the US is such an outlier.

Another swing... and miss. Keep digging.

The U.S. has a significantly higher gun homicide rate than other high-income countries. Notably, guns are the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the U.S.

The rate of gun violence in America is staggering: The US gun homicide rate is 26 times that of other high-income countries.

Access to a gun doubles the risk of death by homicide.

What do the statistics say about who perpetuates these gun crimes and murders in the USA?
 
Americans keep voting Republicans into power, so why would you expect your gun laws to change? All you’ll ever get is empty 'thoughts and prayers.' Your country is the definition of insanity. More kids are dead and traumatized because of you, own it.
 
According to the National Institute of Justice/The Violence project study, the demographics of shooters were 97.7% male, with an average age of 34.1 years, 52.3% white, 20.9% black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% Middle Eastern, and 1.8% Native American.[29]
 
White individuals constitute the largest racial group among mass shooters, though the exact percentage varies across studies. For instance, some data shows White individuals as over 50% of shooters, while others show a slightly lower percentage, followed by Black and Hispanic/Latino individuals.
