march 24th from a total 12,563 shooting incidents not including suicides...

The US has one of the highest rates of death by firearm in the developed
world, according to World Health Organization data.
Our calculations based on OECD data from 2010 show that Americans are 51
times more likely to be killed by gunfire than people in the United
Kingdom.

***
conclusion: less gun deaths result from having less guns!
so get rid of 'em then? :)
(riiiiight...)
