> In fact, way, more KSI from car accidents than even gun related homicide in the US. I hadn't realized that! Guns get an outsized portion of air time on most media. Especially crimes committed by legal weapons against white people. If all gun crimes were covered equally you would hears a lot more about gang violence and illegal weapons. > Deaths by gun related homicide in UK - 200. In US - 20000. (Both numbers pale in comparison to motor vehicle deaths, but there are a lot more in the US. Probably to be expected as there is stringent firearm control in the UK.) I'd be curious to see the difference between gun homicides and homicides. The UK has a huge knife crime problem. > I'm thinking overdoses is a major contributor. It's the only way to get to millions in less than 10 years. Car accidents, maybe, but honestly it's not that much compared to the number of young people who die every year. Ditto, with gun related homicide, which is even less than car accidents. Overdoses and drug related deaths. Drug addiction will shorten a person's lifespan by decades.
