The US VOX website recently reported that the number of gun violence deaths in the United States far exceeds that of any other high-income country. Specific data show that the gun homicide rate in the United States is 26 times that of other high-income countries, and the gun suicide rate is nearly 12 times higher. The VOX website reported that the tragedy of the mass shooting in the United States has something to do with politics, culture and law.
According to US media, 11,500 Americans have died from gun violence this year, an average of about 115 people per day. The Louisville bank shooting is just the latest example of mass gun violence in the United States. CNN bluntly stated, "This is a unique American phenomenon."
