Having so many mass shootings in 2019 is not a record to be proud of. When you consider how many more people were killed with guns on top of these incidents, it is quite clear that the United States has a huge gun problem.
Countries with stricter gun control laws (such as Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, and others) have gun violence rates that are a tiny fraction of the United States’.
Plus their overall homicide rates (any method) are multiple times smaller than the United States’.
According to the World Population Review, the firearm related death rate in 2019 (per 100,000 people) was 12.21 in the United States; whereas, Britain’s was 0.23.
In terms of intentional murder (any method or weapon) (per 100,000), the United States’ rate was 5.35. Britain’s was 1.2.
Other countries with stricter gun control legislation show a similar pattern like Britain.
It’s very clear that stricter gun control laws save lives!
It’s a fact!
The statistics prove this.
The United States needs to stop listening to the outrageous false information and propaganda being spread by the NRA.
We need better gun control legislation.
And we need it as soon as possible!
Lives are at stake!
