Ah, but lets not forget that deaths by shootings have been declining every year since they peaked in the early 90's - the rise of crack- (down 49% since the peak as of last year) and that 2/3rds of all gun related deaths are currently suicide, while mass shootings account for less than 1%. During the same period, guns available for sale have more than doubled (fucking ar15 craze......nubs) - as has media coverage of crime. Just as a bit of counter-intuitive data on the one side, and explanatory data on the other.
We can do better, but given where we were 20 years ago....we've done well.
