Here are the five things that you need to know about gun violence in America:

1:) there were 364 people murdered with a rifle in 2019. There were 6,368 murders committed with a handgun in 2019. there were 1,476 people murdered with a knife.

2) nationally, black males, while representing only ~6.75% of the U.S. population, commit ~50% of all US murders and this is why America has a higher incidence of gun violence than other advanced nations.

3) California, the US state with, arguably, the strictest gun control laws in the country, leads the nation in total homicides and mass shootings. Shouldn't they at least be #2 with all that gun control?

==================================

4) Britain banned handguns and the homicide rate increased.

5) 68% of all gun murders occur in just 5% of US counties and those counties tend to be heavily democrat and black. the murders tend to be further concentrated into well known neighborhoods that are even more democrat and more black.
