Gun Deaths in the United States Reach a Record High

 

[Podmonkey]

"The data include homicides, unintentional deaths, deaths in war or legal interventions, and undetermined deaths."

That is the the most ridiculous horseshit I have ever read.

From the CDC ?????????, ya those numbers aren't even going to be close to real

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

If you don't include suicide, war and exclude 2% of the geographic area of the country (the worst inner city areas) Our gun death homicide rates are lower than most places.

Nothing more than sensationalism propoganda, move along nothing to see.

 

[Jmac00]

Gun legislation advocates call the rising numbers proof that the country is facing a public health epidemic when it comes to gun violence.

the propaganda and indoctrination continues unabated ~~~~ gun deaths from wars? what war do we have in America ~~~~ gun deaths fron "unintended consquences" cops shooting nicent bystanders? black on black? Antifa killing innocent people

U.S. vehicle deaths topped 40,000 in 2017, National Safety Council estimates.

More people = more deaths, causes are irrelevant.

Seems like some highly bloated numbers if they're including UNDETERMINED deaths.

We can lower gun deaths by 2/3 by promoting non violent means of suicide like pills, carbon monoxide and bridges ... We can lower gun violence If we can get gangs to use 1960s-70s standards of killing each other via knives, chains and bats. If we encourage domestic violence to stick with blunt objects and strangulation everything will be in balance and the only gun deaths in the country will be accidental and government sanctioned.

Is why the CDC shouldn't be tracking this because it's garbage anyway. I didn't know there was "WAR" in the U.S., what??? And records only kept since 79'... Very convenient isn't it!?

Murders in US very concentrated: 54% of US counties in 2014 had zero murders, 2% of counties have 51% of the murders - Crime Prevention Research Center

Conclusion
This study shows how murders in the United States are heavily concentrated in very small areas. Few appreciate how much of the US has no murders each year. Murder isn’t a nationwide problem. It’s a problem in a very small set of urban areas, and any solution must reduce those murders.

Meh. Tracking those doesn't really influence the statistics. Here's the actual numbers

https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76;jsessionid=2D2359BFBFBD8649C4451BEAFF58442E

It's only 553 in the war/legal group, and it's clearly marked as such. Ignore the media and pay attention to the actual numbers: homicide rate is 4.6 per 100,000. That's higher than most European countries, but it's still not that high in absolute terms.

And more than 72k died from drug overdoses......
