Gun violence

#gunviolence

Gun violence is violence committed with the use of a gun. It may or may not be considered criminal. Criminal gun violence includes homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and suicide, or attempted suicide, depending on jurisdiction. Non-criminal gun violence may include accidental or unintentional injury or death. Included in this subject are statistics regarding military or para-military activities, as well as the actions of civilians. According to GunPolicy.org, 75 percent of the world's 875 million guns are civilian controlled. Many guns are owned for legitimate reasons, and most are not misused. However, the 875 million guns, including the 25 percent that are government controlled, are used to kill as many as 1,000 people daily. Globally, millions are wounded through the use of guns. Levels of gun violence vary greatly among geographical regions, countries, and even subnationally. The United States has the highest rate of gun related deaths per capita among developed countries, though it also has the highest rate of gun ownership and the highest rate of officers.
