Gun Violence and Public Safety (2015)
Intro: Gun violence plagues our society. Our country suffers a tragic toll every year – 84,000 gun-related non-fatal injuries along with 33,000 gun-related deaths, nearly two-thirds of which are suicides. In Minnesota the average is more than one firearm related death every single day (427 total deaths in 20133). The frequency of needless killing in the U.S. and Minnesota is appalling, especially when compared with low gun-related death rates in other nations.
