Umm…yeah. I was at the Route 91 Harvest festival in 2017. The lady right next to me got shot in the neck. Had I been leaning forward, it would have been me killed. I’m not a “Lib.” I just know there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have better gun control laws.

We actually range closer to 15,000 (in 2019) to 20,000 (in 2020) homicides with a gun per year.

>In 2020, more than 19,000 of the deaths were homicides, according to the CDC. The figure represents a 34% increase from 2019, and a 75% increase over the course of the previous decade.
