~Half of all gun deaths in the US are from suicide, mostly middle aged rural White males. A bit over a third are Drug War related. Mass shootings account for barely 4%, but they generate ratings for News Organizations. Americans are still ten times more likely to be shot by the police than a mass shooter.
I'm not arguing 'gun rights'. I'm pointing out that all these 'sensible gun control' solutions are fucking useless. 54% of US households own nearly 400 million guns. They are *not* going away ever. Hell, there are 20 million AR clones out there and every time someone says 'sensible gun control' another one flies off the shelf.
Want to reduce gun deaths? Fight for Universal Healthcare and a Basic Income Grant, both of which would cut down on suicides *and* mass shootings. And end the failed War of Drugs, which is racially motivated to begin with.
