Gun suicides: America's unseen public health crisis
Dr. Jonathan Fielding ~ 10/11/19 08:30 AM EDT
The numbers confirm what we already know: We’re facing an increasing epidemic of gun deaths in America. 2017 was the most dangerous year yet: U.S. firearm deaths reached 39,773, their highest level in 40 years, increasing 16 percent from 2014. The overall number of gun deaths is often in the news, but the stark surprise for many will be that 60 percent of those nearly 40,000 gun deaths were suicides, 23,854.

That’s better, gun deaths are at epidemic proportions. What can we do about it?

Quit giving people who are contemplating suicides guns. YET AGAIN, you ignored the fact that 60 percent -- almost 24,000 -- of the nearly 40,000 gun deaths were suicides.

Alchohol and drug deaths are much higher. Why not address more serious problems first? I’m sure that would lower the suicide deaths by gun as well.

That number us far smaller. And you won’t stop it. You are letting emotion rule over reason.

Guess you didn't think this one through. Can't say I'm surprised. The links above are a small sample of what happens when people can't get a gun. Is it your contention that people who are stabbed to death are somehow less dead than those who are shot to death?
I believe you are one of those Liberals who subscribe to the theory that mass shootings are a product of deranged white supremacists, or anyone else who doesn't subscribe to la raza primero! In the unlikely event you will pay attention, here is a composite photograph of every mass shooter in 2019 so far. My oh my! Such a sea of evil white faces!

FBI statistics do not record the weapon in most cases, but you would rather believe in stupidity.

According to data from the Gun Violence Archive , a total of 340 mass shooting incidents occurred in 2018.
In 2017, the U.S. saw a total of 346 mass shootings. That is over a thousand each year.




Most multiple victim shootings are black on black males using pistols.

It surprised me that kamullah Harris brought that fact up during last night's debate.

Usually you people avoid that area.

That is a right wing BS post making the rounds, but not really mass shooting as defined by FBI.

Did it ever occur to people that the rifles used were expensive? How could kids afford them? 'Get the feeling they have backers?

Of course its not mass shooting because knives were used. And these stabbings really happened.

You're not firing on all cylinders right now. Have another cup of coffee or tea.

Perhaps you've never heard of this incident either -

Inside the Kunming railway station in Kunming, Yunnan, China at around 21:20 on 1 March 2014, a group of knife-wielding terrorists attacked passengers at the city's railway station. Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed passengers. Police killed four assailants and captured one injured female. The assailants left 31 civilians and four perpetrators dead, with more than 140 others injured
