Guns have claimed more than 1.1 million lives in last 30 years, and fatalities spiked by 20% in the pandemic, driven by economic chaos, mental health woes and a jump in gun sales, CDC study shows
 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] vs. 6 million from Covid in two years?”Science!”: 1.1 million over 30 years equals 36,666.7 deaths per year total gun deaths. But according to the article that includes suicides and accidental shootings as well as homicides. Given that accident-prone people have all sorts of accidents, not just with guns, and the truly suicidal will use another method if their preferred method is not available — in Japan they like to jump off mountains and in front of trains instead of shooting themselves — only the homicide category counts.
