Gun Violence
A big issue
Dear next president,
Thirty thousand people are killed by gun violence each year. This makes it the third leading cause of death.
Three hundred six people are shot each day; ninety of them die. Over the course of a year 117,000 people are shot.
Statistically, a gun in a home increases death-by-gun rate by 90% rather than providing protection.
Sincerely,
Joe M. from St. Louis
