Gun violence in America: Defining the problem

wrought by COVID-19 and powered by the uniquely American affinity for and access to guns.

In Shea's New York City, there was a 100% increase in shootings in 2020 from the year prior. Accidental shootings, domestic violence, suicide, stray bullets and mass casualty all contributed to it, but Shea said the biggest drivers of gun violence are gangs.NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea attends media briefing on the Saturday Night Lights program, at Boys Club of New York on July 9, 2021 in New York City.

"The vast majority of what we see is still gang-related," Shea added."It could be over turf, it could be over drug money. Oftentimes, tragically, it's over nothing."

The problem is the NRA & GOP if you don't produce it, it can't be marketed. If it's not supplied there'll be no demand but GREED & love of BLOOD MONEY from slavery to now has been & still is the ROOT of ALL evil CNN theReasonWeLeft

I think they meant to say Gang not gun.

And even with statistics that are criminal in themselves, year after year Americans can’t seem to see the problem much less do anything about it. How sad is that !!

Sooo sad!

Une vraie folie le pays de l'oncle Sam, sur 5 ans, 38 826 personnes tuées par armes à feu chaque année, soit sur 365 jours. C'est vraiment à perdre la tête.

Getting real close to “BloodDiamond.”

Mostly blsck on black.

Not the guns. Someone is pulling the trigger. Once again ABC is incorrect.

This is a huge and serious problem in USA in future.There is a reason that should be addressed.

'killed by guns'-- NO killed by people. Let's get real.

If legal responsible gun owners like myself were the problem trust me you’d know it.

And in every instant a human being had to make a decision to physically pull the trigger aimed at another human.

That's good, that's people control. That helps the environment, less people the better.

How did u compute these numbers

Illegal guns in criminal hands.

You mean they were killed by other people with guns. Yeah, that's probably what you meant.

It’s amazing. I live in a white suburban Republican neighborhood. We all have guns, all of us. We’ve never had a shooting.

Lol.. break down those numbers.. how many black on black crime, how many suicide, I mean really

Killed by guns……or killed by people?

No, they were killed by other people !

Far more people defend themselves with a gun.

Gun violence is a symptom of a much bigger moral crisis in America.

Now can you separate the two and show us how many legal guns did the killings to how many illegal guns that that would be great thanks wow what has happened to Americans? Its very sad! America reminds me of that movie Troy

Thanks republicans

When did the guns start doing this alone?

How many were just silly little gang crimes? Because I usually don’t travel into those parts of town.

How many by black people wielding the gun? The gun is an inanimate object that is no harm to anyone. is afraid to write the real story about black people killing one another. Cowards
