We've got 2700 firearms homicides per year in the US right now, its low; That includes lawful shootings by police and DGU.

The average anti-gun person is hyped up by the news and by ableist rhetoric when suicides are reported as gun violence.

Only anti-violence work will lower the homicide rate, not bans.

Firearm homicides are not systematically reported--not even "lawful" ones by police--so 2700 is the absolute lower bound.

They are to the FBI, which is where this stat is from. You might want to educate yourself to the actual problems that we have.

Those reports are voluntary. Many states do not participate.
