【环球网综合报道】美国枪支暴力问题愈演愈烈。美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)发表的最新数据显示，去年全美近4万人死于枪下，创下近40年来新高。平均每天有109人成为枪下亡魂。同时，美国去年亦有2.4万人用枪自杀，数字亦创下18年来的新高。

香港“东网”16日报道称，美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据显示，全美去年有3.97万人死于枪口下，当中6成自杀，其余4成则是死于枪杀。以种族比例而言，白人男性以枪自杀的比例最高，每10万人当中有14人吞枪自尽，高于黑人男性的6.1人的比例。

数据还显示，全美用枪自杀率最高的州份分别是阿拉斯加州、蒙大拿州及怀俄明州。有主张枪械管制的组织分析师表示，家中拥有枪械会导致自杀机率增加两倍。

不过，一向反对枪支管控的美国全国步枪协会(NRA)在推特上发文称，枪械管制并不能解决枪支暴力问题，呼吁美国领袖们停止妖魔化NRA的成员，并找出解决方法，拯救更多生命。返回搜狐，查看更多

Nearly 40,000 people died in the United States last year, and the number reached a 40-year high.

[Global Network Comprehensive Report] The issue of gun violence in the United States has intensified. According to the latest data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 40,000 people in the United States died from guns last year, setting a new high in nearly 40 years. On average, 109 people become the soul of the guns every day. At the same time, the United States also committed suicide with 24,000 guns last year, and the number has reached a new high in 18 years.

Hong Kong "Eastnet" reported on the 16th that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data showed that 39,700 people died in the United States last year, 60% of them committed suicide, and the remaining 40% died from shooting. In terms of ethnicity, white males have the highest proportion of gun suicides, with 14 out of every 100,000 people squandering themselves, which is higher than the proportion of 6.1 black men.

The data also shows that the states with the highest suicide rate in the United States are Alaska, Montana and Wyoming. Organizational analysts who advocate gun control say that having guns in their homes can lead to a two-fold increase in suicide.

However, the National Rifle Association (NRA), which has always opposed gun control, issued a tweet on Twitter saying that gun control does not solve the problem of gun violence, calling on American leaders to stop demonizing NRA members and find solutions to save more. life.

Outlier
Comparing Gun Deaths by Country: The U.S. Is in a Different World

By Kevin Quealy and Margot Sanger-Katz

• June 13, 2016

The mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night has horrified the nation. But it’s not unusual for dozens of Americans to be killed by guns in a single day.
Gun homicides are a common cause of death in the United States, killing about as many people as car crashes (not counting van, truck, motorcycle or bus accidents). Some cases command our attention more than others, of course. Counting mass shootings that make headlines and the thousands of Americans murdered one or a few at a time, gunshot homicides totaled 8,124 in 2014, according to the F.B.I.
This level of violence makes the United States an extreme outlier when measured against the experience of other advanced countries.
Around the world, those countries have substantially lower rates of deaths from gun homicide. In Germany, being murdered with a gun is as uncommon as being killed by a falling object in the United States. About two people out of every million are killed in a gun homicide. Gun homicides are just as rare in several other European countries, including the Netherlands and Austria. In the United States, two per million is roughly the death rate for hypothermia or plane crashes.

In Poland and England, only about one out of every million people die in gun homicides each year — about as often as an American dies in an agricultural accident or falling from a ladder. In Japan, where gun homicides are even rarer, the likelihood of dying this way is about the same as an American’s chance of being killed by lightning — roughly one in 10 million.
In the United States, the death rate from gun homicides is about 31 per million people — the equivalent of 27 people shot dead every day of the year. The homicides include losses from mass shootings, like Sunday’s Las Vegas attack, the Orlando, Fla., nightclub shooting in June 2016, or the San Bernardino, Calif., shooting in December 2015. And of course, they also include the country’s vastly more common single-victim killings.

To give you a sense of how unusual America’s gun violence problem is, consider the daily death toll compared with other Western democracies. The chart below imagines that the populations of those countries were the same as the population of the United States.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/02/...=signature-journalism-random&imp_id=745301783


International comparisons help highlight how exceptional the United States is: In a nation where the right to bear arms is cherished by much of the population, gun homicides are a significant public health concern. For men 15 to 29, they are the third-leading cause of death, after accidents and suicides. In other high-income countries, gun homicides are unusual events. The Paris attacks in November 2015 killed 130 people, which is nearly as many as die from gun homicides in all of France in a typical year. But even if France had a mass shooting as deadly as the Paris attacks every month, its annual rate of gun homicide death would be lower than that in the United States.

The accompanying table shows the mortality rates for gun homicides in a variety of countries, along with a correspondingly likely cause of death in the United States.

Our gun homicide numbers come from the Small Arms Survey, a Swiss nonprofit affiliated with the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, and represent the average gun homicide death rates with data available in those countries between 2007 and 2012. (Data was unavailable for some countries in later years of that period). The United States death rates come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over those same years. There are more recent statistics on American gun deaths, like the F.B.I. number at the top of this article, but we chose these years to provide fair comparisons. We focused on the rates of gun homicides; the overall rate of gun deaths is substantially higher, because suicides make up a majority of gun deaths in the United States and are also higher than in other developed countries.
The table is not meant to make light of rare causes of death. Instead, we show them as a way to help think meaningfully about the differences among gun death rates.

2:2113 Deadliest Shootings in America
The mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., was the worst in U.S. history. Every year, hundreds die in similar episodes. These are some of the deadliest.Published OnJune 13, 2016CreditCreditGetty Images/The New York Times
The rate of gun violence in the United States is not the highest in the world. In parts of Central America, Africa and the Middle East, the gun death rates are even higher — close to those from heart attacks and lung cancer in the United States. In neighboring Mexico, where a drug war rages, 122 people per million die in a gun homicide, a rate slightly higher than Americans’ death rate from pancreatic cancer. But the countries with those levels of gun violence are not like the United States in many other ways, including G.D.P., life expectancy and education. Among developed democracies, the United States is an outlier.

US gun violence in six chilling statistics

May 18, 2018
Santa Fe High School in Texas becomes scene of latest fatal school shooting

A Texas high school has become the latest US campus to be struck by gun violence, as at least eight people lost their lives in an early-morning rampage in an art classroom.
The unidentified gunman opened fire at Santa Fe High School just before 8am local time on Friday morning.
At least eight people are confirmed to have died, with an unknown number of injuries. Police told local news station ABC-13 that the situation has been “contained” and that a suspect is in custody.
Some Santa Fe students who spoke to ABC in the aftermath of the shooting said they were shocked that their school had become the scene of a bloody shooting, but at least one teenager had a frighteningly blase response to the attack:
“It's been happening everywhere," a girl identified as Paige told the station. “I always felt like eventually it would happen here. I wasn't surprised, I was just scared.”
The Santa Fe incident brings to ten the number of fatal shooting incidents in US schools since the start of 2018, according to statistics from the Gun Violence Archive, a charity that tracks shooting incidents in the US.
Only a handful of these fit the model of “school shootings” in the Columbine mould, where a student actively targets fellow students.
For instance, on 28 March, 51-year-old Jesse Kilgus was shot and killed by police in a standoff on the grounds of John Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, after shooting his wife at their home.
Other incidents of gun deaths on school campuses include three suicides, an accidental shooting and an adult man fatally shot during an argument in a high-school car park.
Overall, the 52 months since January 2014, only six have passed without at least one instance of gun violence in a US school.
Their figures lay bare the fatal toll of gun violence in the US. Between 2014 and 2017, 56,755 Americans were killed by guns, including 2,710 children under the age of 12.

In that time, there have been 1,333 mass shootings - defined as incidents in which at least four people are injured or killed - eight of them at elementary or high schools.
The figures compiled by the GVA include both intentional and accidental shootings, but do not include suicides, which account for an additional 22,000 gun deaths every year.
Americans are more likely to die from a gunshot than from skin cancer or stomach cancer.
Pew Research data reveals that 46% of gun owners who live with children do not keep their firearms locked. Around 30% said their weapons were kept loaded at all times and stored in an easily accessible location.
The Pew data also lays bare the difficulties facing lawmakers looking to curb gun violence in a bitterly partisan politics environment.
While half of all Americans polled in 2017 agreed that gun violence was a “very big problem” in US society, gun owners and non-gun owners are deeply divided on how to tackle it.
For instance, 80% of non-gun owners were in a favour of a federal registry to track gun sales, a proposal supported by only 54% of gun owners. Meanwhile, the majority of gun owners believe that stricter regulations will not lead to fewer mass shootings.
Gun control advocates also have to contend with a deep-rooted cultural attachment to personal firearms.
Half of all gun owners - who skew white, rural and Republican - said that owning a firearm was part of their identity and nearly three-quarters said they could not imagine life without a gun.

How likely is gun violence to kill the average American? The odds may surprise you

• A gunman killed 12 people and injured 15 others on Wednesday at a bar and grill in Thousand Oaks, California.
• Nearly 13,000 people in the US were murdered with firearms in 2015 (the latest available data), not including suicides.
• Gun violence is a leading cause of death in the US, according to the CDC.
• In March, the US government moved to weaken a decades-old restriction on federal research into guns.

On Wednesday night at 11:20 p.m., a gunman that authorities have identified as Ian David Long entered the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, and began shooting.
By early Thursday morning, the former US marine had killed 12 people, injured 15 others, and taken his own life.
The shooting is considered the 15th deadliest in recent US history, yet Long’s victims join a growing number of people killed by guns in the US.

​

Wednesday’s mass shooting follows the murder of 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School in February and the killings of 11 people at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in October.

​

This week’s attack also happened a little more than a year after the deadliest in America: the Las Vegas Strip shooting, which left 58 people dead and 850 others injured. By chance, dozens of people who had survived the Las Vegas attack were also present for this week’s shooting‘ and several of them were shot to death.

Millions of people marched against gun violence this year, and Congress voted to loosen a restriction on the CDC’s research of gun violence, which has been in effect for about 22 years.
Below is some of the most recent data available on gun violence in the US (highlighted in red; suicides and accidents excluded), and how it compares to other causes of death over the lifetime of an average American.

Skye Gould/Business Insider
According to this analysis, assaults by firearm kill about 13,000 people in the US each year, and this translates to a roughly 1-in-315 lifetime chance of death from gun violence. The risk of dying in a mass shooting is about 35 times lower than that, with a 1-in-11,125 lifetime chance of death.
The chance of dying from gun violence overall is about 50% greater than the lifetime risk of dying while riding inside a car, truck, or van (a category that excludes pedestrian, cyclist, and other deaths outside of a motor vehicle). It’s also more than 10 times as high as dying from any force of nature, such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or lightning strike.
These measures suggest Americans are more likely to die from gun violence than the combined risks of drowning, fire and smoke, stabbing, choking on food, airplane crashes, animal attacks, and natural disasters.
Where the data comes from

The chart above does not account for a person’s specific behaviors, age, sex, location, or other factors that could shift the results; it’s an average of the entire US population.
But it clearly shows that gun violence in the US is a leading cause of death, which is how the CDC describes firearm homicides in its National Vital Statistics Reports.
Most of the data comes from an October 2017 report by the National Safety Council and a November 2017 report by the National Center for Health Statistics on causes of death in the US, primarily those that occurred in 2015. (The NSC report uses 2014 data wherever newer data was unavailable.)
Mass shootings aren’t part of the data sets above, but the Gun Violence Archive project keeps a sourced tally, which we’ve independently counted. The organization considers any event where four or more victims were injured (regardless of death) to be a mass shooting.
In 2015, some 333 mass shootings left 367 people dead, according to their tally. The statistics rose in 2016 to 383 mass shootings that killed 456 people. In 2017, there were 346 mass shootings that led to 437 deaths, and so far this year, we’ve seen 307 mass shootings.
Foreign-born terrorism data comes from a Cato Institute terrorism report, and some natural-disaster data comes from Tulane University.
We calculated the lifetime odds of death by applying 2015 life expectancy and population numbers in the US, and our analysis assumes each cause of death won’t change drastically in the near future. (Mortality data from previous years suggests these rankings are relatively consistent, with the exception of skyrocketing accidental poisonings due to the opioid epidemic.)

A dearth of US gun-violence research

Although gun violence is one of the leading causes of death in America, it is also one of the most poorly researched, according to a January 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“In relation to mortality rates, gun violence research was the least-researched cause of death and the second-least-funded cause of death after falls,” the study’s authors wrote.
The study ascribed this dearth of research to restrictions – namely an addition to a 1996 congressional appropriations bill called the Dickey Amendment, which stipulated “none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.”
This is the rule that Congress recently voted to weaken with its new funding bill, which Trump signed in March. The new provision gives the CDC explicit permission to research the causes of gun violence, though it maintains a ban on “using appropriated funding to advocate or promote gun control.”

Research into gun violence is the most poorly funded relative to other causes of death. Dr. David E. Stark, Dr. Nigam H. Shah/JAMA
The previous lack of clarity on researching gun violence has hindered many scientists from better understanding the problem.
“The fundamental, foundational work of documenting the full scale of the health consequences of firearms has not been done,” Sandro Galea, an epidemiologist and the dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, told Mother Jones in January 2017. “It’s the kind of project that we do all the time. It just hasn’t been done with firearms because there haven’t been resources.”
Although the Dickey amendment has been weakened, Republicans in Congress are reportedly uninterested in restoring $2.6 million in annual funding for CDC research into gun violence.
“[T]op GOP appropriators say they have no interest in funding new federal research into gun violence,” The Hill wrote in April.
The research that has been conducted by private institutions like the Harvard Injury Control Research Center show a clear connection between gun ownership, gun availability, homicides, and violent death.
A roundup of gun-control and gun-violence studies by Vox shows that Americans represent less than 5% of the world population but possess nearly 50% of the world’s civilian-owned guns. The data also reveals that police are about three times more likely to be killed in states with high gun ownership, countries with more guns see more gun deaths, and states with tighter gun control laws see fewer gun-related deaths.

World must make everywhere more bloody and deadly, 8 billion population level must be reduce to 8 million or else, it is inevitable Total Extinction, when Global Resources Exhausted & Environment Totally Ruined. If ancient men did what we are now doing, we won't be here today. All resources will be exhausted and ruined many centuries ago.

Cowboys and guns did a great job in keeping the crucial BALANCE between population/consumption & Resources.

Barbarians invaders can help to reduce world population too. I read somewhere that mongol invaders reduced north China population from 45m to 7m during their invasion of Song Dynasty.
