Has The Gun rate Improved?

The rate have not improved , it in fact got worst . There has been 9,471 Injuries due to guns this year for 2016 and 4,669 incidents resulting in deaths. Its starting to look like nothing is changing for the better . People are killing each other with petty reasons behind it. Majority of incidents are involving young people between 16-21Years of age.

A November ProPublica article noted that half of American gun death victims are men of color in “poor, segregated neighborhoods that have little political clout.” Timothy Heaphy, a former U.S. attorney in Virginia, says this is precisely why they don’t capture the public’s attention. “I don’t think we care about African-American lives as much as we care about white lives,” he said.
That right there shows that gun violence need to come to a end. its not only about African Americans but they are mostly involved and have a huge role in the statistics.
