What about these people ?
"For the last five years, the victims of gun violence in the US have increasingly been young adults and children....since 2009, 3.8 percent more children and babies under 14 have been killed by guns each year.
And for people between ages 15 and 44, deaths have surged by over 10 percent each year since 2014, according to the new Boston University study...
...between 1999 and then, death rates held steady.
...but between 2014 and 2016, firearm mortality surged by 7.2 percent each year.
The increase during that period was even more dramatic among certain groups, including those between ages 15 and 44 and black Americans, among whom firearm deaths increased by a staggering 12.6% in a year.
It's homicides and non-fatal gunshots that concern Dr Kalesan...the predominant factor that she suspects drives this pattern is money....and the poverty gap...
...we see that gun violence is part of the "diseases of despair,"' alongside suicide, drug overdoses and alcoholism..."

Yet more removals from your "gene pool" that you don't care about ?
That increase is because of a decrease in gun ownership.
