Not just that, we pay monetarily too because of increased security costs everywhere we go, and opportunity costs because we avoid some neighborhoods (for business/housing) because they have had gun violence. It also makes the police treat more people badly and kill some because it is a very acceptable thing (apparently) to say: “I thought I saw a gun, I feared for my life”. It is a much, much bigger cost than people realize.
