For a publication named "Science"... this seems to be a pretty slanted article. It makes no distinction between types of violence, instead lumping them together.
"Firearm deaths in the United States grew by nearly 43% between 2010 and 2020,[...]" conveniently omits the distinction between homicide, suicide, and accidental deaths. It also ignores any type of comparison between criminal gangs having a turf battle, mentally ill people shooting up schools, and Nazi/Antifa type disputes. It conveniently lumps all into a single "guns are bad" bag.
Their assertions about conspiracy theories all conveniently target conservatives as well as ignoring the possibility of any truth in those perspectives. With a reproductive replacement number below 2.1, the US population is shrinking. Adding more than 1M who crossed the US southern border this year already and were processed, with an additional number nearly half that size who avoided he border patrol completely, most who have historically supported a single party... what would informed people think?
