Over 170,000 people die annually in the US due to miscellaneous accidents, far and away most involve automobiles. Not counted in accidents, less than 40,000 deaths are firearms-related and most of those are suicides. Drug-related deaths exceed firearms-related deaths almost 2 to 1 (70 thousand deaths due to drugs in 2019)
We have over 330 million people in the US which means we have 330 one-in-a-million violent nut jobs. My guestimate is 3/4 of them are undiagnosed, 1/3 of them are gang or cult members, and 1/2 of them are in congress.
Do not be fooled by the press
