(16,245 posts)25. To say nothing of the injured.
Who number much more than that. Those injuries can leave people with serious problems FOR LIFE. And the government is not allowed by law to even track this. We have no idea how much this costs, in terms of emergency services, hospital and follow-up care, or to insurance.
It is a complete travesty that the NRA has captured our government so completely.

I'm sorry for your loss. Suicides happen by other means, yes, but guns do make it easier.
