On average, 125 people die in gun-related incidents every single day in the United States. This includes homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths, highlighting the pervasive nature of gun violence across the nation.
While recent years have seen a slight decline in these numbers, they remain alarmingly close to the record highs witnessed during the pandemic. The modest improvements provide little solace to communities continuously affected by these tragedies.
Violence prevention advocates are growing increasingly concerned as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reclaim the White House next month. They fear that any progress made in curbing gun violence could be undone under his administration. Potential policy changes may relax existing gun control measures, potentially exacerbating an already critical situation.
