This is a quote from Fog City Midge...not sure how current it is.
"The US averages 35,000 deaths a year from firearms and only 2/3rds of those are suicides.
There are over 300,000,000 guns in the US.
And 5 times more deaths by stabbing than by rifles.
More people are beaten to death than killed by “Assault Weapons".
We have more guns in our country than any other country yet we rate 28th in gun deaths.
Handguns are responsible for over 80% of mass shootings.
Between 1993 and 2003 gun ownership went up 56% while gun violence went down by half.
2015 95% of all mass shootings happened in gun free zones.
All six states that banned open carry between 2013–2015 experience higher police fatalities due to firearms.
On average, the people who have concealed carry permits, commit less crime than police do.
The Swiss have 2 million guns for 8 million people and have little restriction on firearms. Their gun deaths per year is almost 0."
