Despite a slight decline, gun violence remains a major crisis in the United States, with an average of 125 people dying from gun-related incidents every single day.
These staggering numbers encompass homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths, painting a sobering picture of the ongoing struggles with firearm-related fatalities across the nation.
While recent years have seen the numbers edge lower, they linger near the record highs witnessed during the pandemic, signaling that the issue is far from resolved.
Violence prevention advocates are growing increasingly concerned as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reclaim the White House next month. There are fears that his administration could reverse whatever modest gains have been made in curbing gun violence, potentially exacerbating the crisis.
