The number of children and teens killed by gunfire in the United States increased 50% between 2019 and 2021.
FIFTY PERCENT. IN TWO YEARS. I keep pretty close tabs on these statistics and I had no idea it was that bad.

@rvawonk We've always had lots of guns and as a result lots of gun violence, but to increase so dramatically like that tells me that there is an additional factor in play here. I believe that that factor can only be Stochastic Terrorism incited by the Right-wing Hate Media. To me, this seems like the most urgent thing we should be focussing our attention on, and perhaps gun control can stay on the back burner until we solve the fascism problem.
