You know, the very ones the trauma surgeons are talking about in the post.
And the NRA's response to all of this? "Stay in your lane"...
Geez..
Oh"
"But when it comes to gun deaths per capita, the U.S. ranks 20th, at a rate of 10.6 per 100,000 deaths — putting it on par with the Dominican Republic. Many places with high gun death rates had fewer deaths than the U.S. because of smaller populations."
