Why limit it to the United States? Do the lives of people killed outside of the US not matter?

average 134 bumps per day will probably overload the 2+2 servers. I wouldn't advise this challenge be undertaken.....

The US murder rate is is like 6.5 / 100k. It's quite a bit higher in lots of places.

Might as well make it a sticky then, it would be bumped so much.

USA averages more than one mass murder a day.

Among 204 countries analyzed by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the U.S. came in 20th for the highest rate of firearm deaths in 2019. Americans died due to firearms at a rate of 11.3 per 100,000 people that year.

Among the 40 largest countries in the world in 2019, the United States ranked fourth after Colombia, Brazil and Mexico in terms of having the highest rate of deaths due to firearms. From 2014 to 2020, gun-related deaths in the U.S. rose 35%, according to nonpartisan data center USAFacts.

Again, we see progressive minded posters conflating gun deaths with homicides, at least when it is convenient to do so.

This seams as pointless as count to a million thread but I am going out on a limb and bumping it as it seems like a safe bet

Well, bumping the thread for every deericide might get tiresome.

I closed this thread. "Bump this thread" isn't a discussion topic, it's a no content thread. We have a thread already where gun control and shootings are discussed.
