The Gun problem is suicide, not death by cop

 CDC report on violent deaths in the USA.

Of the 66,017 deaths, the majority (58.4%) were suicides, followed by homicides (31.3%), deaths of undetermined intent (8.2%), legal intervention deaths (1.3%) (i.e., deaths caused by law enforcement and other persons with legal authority to use deadly force acting in the line of duty, excluding legal executions), and unintentional firearm deaths 

The suicide rate was highest in men over the age of 85, but more comon in males who had substance abuse or recent domestic problems. And ll the propaganda happy publicity pushing the idea the old should die when sick will make this worse.

The homicide rate was higher among young black males. And most women who were killed it was partner abuse. But the MSM prefer to point to the 1 percent of legal interventions that cause deaths because it sells newspapers and demonizes folks who just want their nieghborhood to be safe.

The ethnic groups with the highest suicide rate was AmerIndian populations, something we who worked with the IHS were aware was a problem. But many of them were hanging, not gunshot wounds.

add to this the drug overdose deaths (90 thousand a year) and the 13 thousand deaths from driving under the influence of alcohol and a lot of people driving under the influence of drugs where the statistics are not clear, what you have is a social epidemic.
