In 2024, gun violence claimed 16,575 lives, making America more dangerous than countries like Lebanon and Somalia, even as public support for stricter laws grows.
The United States has a gun violence rate eight times higher than Canada and 100 times higher than the United Kingdom, highlighting a unique ambivalence towards gun control.
Despite the widespread awareness of gun violence and its deadly statistics, America's gun laws are being eroded by far-right extremists rather than strengthened to address public concerns.
Half of all Americans know someone who has been shot, which underscores the personal impact of gun violence across the country, further emphasizing the urgent need for reform.
