Unfortunately:: there is LITTLE information about the skin colors of the victims, nor the killers.

This information is REQUIRED to have any idea what to do about any of it.

How does it compare to previous years, by city, state, demographic, history of violence of shooters,....?

I det4est lthe NRA. It is an agency which enables, abets, and encourages death.

132 of those 177 were suicides. Meanwhile over 7,400 people die every day in the US. Life is dangerous as hell and we are all doomed so we might as well make the most of our time.

Need more info to have an opinion: Who killed who?
No doubt, prolly mostly white people killing POCs. NOT!!!

So if a black guy is killed by another black guy, it doesn't really count? Hey, stay classy, dude.

I don't understand why people in the US or anywhere els in the world would feel a need to have a gun at all unless you are in a war zone, but then perhaps people in the US think they are in a war zone. When will you realize that you are being manipulated by the people who make guns and bullets.

Yeah. But::: nearly 2000 incidents last year of people responding to attacks. Difficult to argue with the emotional reactions to that type of stat.

@Jacar You know, no it is not difficult at all. Attacks happen everywhere. They happen here in Australia and we do not have guns.

These are "rookie" numbers. As The Gunfighter Nation, we can do better!!!

So what are we to say for the legal gun owners, "good guys with guns", NRA estimates that between 70 and 80 million Americans own guns. Good Right! Can anyone list any effective gun control laws.

Um, Australia? After an awful mass shooting, banning of all military style automatic and semi-automatic rifles and handguns apart from target pistols and a gun buy-back scheme. Voilà! No mass shooting events since, and murder and gun violence stats that are fraction of what is seen in the States.

So, who do you blame? The gun or the one's using them?

Guns make a mistake terminal.

@MrBeelzeebubbles when their in use that is the idea.

@MrBeelzeebubbles
So does a knife... or a claw hammer.

@bigpawbullets yep, any tool can be a weapon, however, put on the table and it will sit motionless for as long as it sits there undisturbed, until someone picks it up.

I weep for the 45 non suicides, for those who shot themselves I am sad for their loved ones but we must remember that in an evolving world, only the fittest survive.
