33 Times More Deaths from Falls in One Year than in 24 Years of Mass Shootings in the US

Food for thought! What perspective to apply to mass shootings?

I did not double check the numbers. However, this might be in the ballpark!

Yes, every shooting death and and injury is terrible! The price of freedom is high (Second Amendment). However, each one of us also has the freedom and responsibility to do everything humanly possible to prevent mass shootings as best as possible without infringing on the Second Amendment!

Should not more efforts be afforded to prevent accidental falls than to worry about infrequent mass shootings despite the fact that so many Americans own/carry guns?

33 Times More Deaths from Falls in One Year than in 24 Years of Mass Shootings "FBI stats show 1,432 people were killed in “active shooter incidents” from 2000-2024, and the National Safety Council reported 47,026 people were killed in falls in 2023 alone."
