I agree there is gun violence.

And there also are other kinds of aggression and violence.

That’s why I put a lot of range time in.

So I can meet it head on.

Then there is “no gun violence.”

Personal carry makes sure there is no gun violence.

The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

I live alone, with no family and no heirs. A firearm has been in open display for 9 years, and it has not once, jumped up and shot me or anyone who visits!

There are 32,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms,

Gun related deaths by firearms. Okay.

Two problems with the article:

First, there is no info on non-police justifiable homicides. They aren't suicides, police shootings, crimes or accidents. Where do they fit in?

Second, the local stats count up "homicides", but police shootings, justified civilian shootings and accidents killing others are also homicides in addition to the criminal shootings. Just counting homicides is probably mixing apples and oranges. Beware quoting these stats without much further research as to where the homicide numbers came from.

It most certainly is disputed. Former VP Joe Biden claimed that there have been 150,000,000 gun deaths in the last 13 years. That works out to over 11.5 million per year. No one questioned the figure when he stated it in a debate on national TV and I don’t believe anyone has asked him about it since.

“So technically, “gun violence” is not 32,000 annually, but drops to 5,100.”

Of which a good chunk make society better.

He makes it sound like it's not crime related gun deaths.

Take out those and see what the stats are.
