All of America foreign wars haven't taken as many lives as guns have in the last 50 years

[Loyd]

In the wake of the Las Vegas massacre in which at least 59 people were killed and hundreds more were injured in what is now the deadliest mass shooting in the country's modern history, astonishing statistics specifically unique to the United States have resurfaced.

In only the last 50 years more American citizens have died from gunshots than in the entire country's history of wars, that's more than 1.5 million people since 1968, NBC News reported using data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

"What we've seen in Las Vegas is a uniquely American scene," former FBI agent Ali Soufan told MSNBC. "The aftermath of such traumatic events have become an all too familiar scene in our society and in our politics, unfortunately."

3. Aren't a large proportion of those lives

taken by suicide? Guns may make suicide convenient, and there's that irreversability factor, but jumping off a bridge pretty much has the same effect, if it's high enough.
