In the United States, an average of 125 people die from gun-related incidents every single day. This staggering figure includes homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths, highlighting the ongoing severity of the nation’s gun violence crisis.
While the numbers have edged lower in recent years, they remain distressingly close to the record highs witnessed during the pandemic. The slight decline offers limited comfort as communities continue to grapple with daily losses and the pervasive impact of gun violence.
Violence prevention advocates are growing increasingly concerned that President-elect Donald Trump could reverse the modest gains that have been made. With his upcoming return to the White House next month, there is apprehension that policy shifts may hinder progress in addressing this critical issue.
