In comparison to other high-income countries, the United States suffers from a starkly high gun violence rate, with a gun homicide rate substantially exceeding that of its peers. A recent report highlights that the U.S. experiences 4.382 gun homicides per 100,000 residents, well above the next highest country, Chile. Despite this alarming trend, various states are choosing to ease gun regulations rather than impose stricter laws. Notably, North Carolina and Michigan are proposing bills that would allow permitless concealed carry, underscoring an ongoing debate on public safety versus individual gun rights.
Compared to other high-income countries, the United States has one of the worst rates of gun violence in the world, with a gun homicide rate 26 times higher than others.
North Carolina's 'Freedom to Carry' Bill proposed allowing concealed carry for any U.S. citizen aged 18 or older without a state-issued permit, showing a trend towards looser regulations.
