Hughesville Woman Accidentally Shoots Herself While Aiming At Squirrel In Her Chicken Coop

Pew Research: “Though they tend to get less public attention than gun-related murders, suicides have long accounted for the majority of U.S. gun deaths. In 2020, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (24,292), while 43% were murders (19,384), according to the CDC. The remaining gun deaths that year were unintentional (535), involved law enforcement (611) or had undetermined circumstances (400)”. While I support 2nd amendment rights, clearly firearms in the hands of an average American citizen is a reckless tragedy. I say this because of the overwhelming number of accidents, suicides, family members (including kids) finding inadequately stored firearms and doing harm to themselves or others, and firearms getting stolen and ending up in the hands of criminals. People that blindly tout 2nd amendment rights as a reason for loose (or no) gun control measures are, in my opinion, either uncaring about their fellow citizens, woefully uninformed, or foolish.
