Thanks for the info. I was imagining the whole world. I look a little above, and maybe it's Washington State really? In any event: 1) Guns don't kill people.

Thanks for the info. I was imagining the whole world. I look a little above, and maybe it's Washington State really?
In any event:
1) Guns don't kill people. They don't even make the people-killing appreciably more likely.
2) Washington has about 1,000 gun murders per year
3) About 2/3 of U.S. gun deaths are suicides, so we might expect about 333 gun murders in WA in a year.
I'm really glad U.S. HIV deaths have fallen off a cliff!
- dmoy 1y agoThe 45k number is for US total (as is the <5k number above) WA state has about 300 murders a year, up significantly from 200-ish pre covid.
