“In 2022, there were more than 48,000 firearm-related deaths in the United States according to mortality data.
That's about 132 people dying from a firearm-related injury each day.
More than half of firearm-related deaths were suicides and more than four out of every 10 were firearm homicides.”
“Guns were the leading cause of death among children & teens (ages 1-17), accounting for more deaths than car crashes, overdoses, or cancers.”
