Actually if you watched the video a little closer, he was carrying something in his hand like a towel wrapped gun or a gun case, along with his backpack (which was already on his back).

Well if you consider 13% of all gun homicides being significant, then we have different perceptions of significant.
National Youth Gang Survey Analysis: Measuring the Extent of Gang Problems
The NGC conducted an annual survey of law enforcement agencies to assess the extent of gang problems. This page shows data measuring the extent of gang problems.
But when you put suicides, accidents and law enforcement homicides etc into the mix, gang related gun deaths represent less than 5% of gun deaths in the USA.
You might be extrapolating Trump's obession with Chicago as being representative, as gang violence accounts for half of firearms homicides.
The big takeaway for me has always been the immense firearm saturation of American society. Having guns around the house does facilitate impulsive suicides, escalating domestic disputes from words, often skipping hands right to guns. Kids getting killed playing with the guns in dad's nightstand that are ironically there to protect the family is a real problem. Same with kids stealing the family protection gun to school and going on a shooting spree.
I'm happier living in Canada, with fewer guns. I've lived here and in the US and in Europe. While I would have a home protection shotgun and a concealed carry compact handgun (available) if I lived in the US, I'm so much happier and feel so much safer here in Canada where guns are not part of daily life for most Canadians.
AI Overview
In 2023, the most recent year with complete data, there were 46,728 firearm deaths in the USA, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This total includes gun suicides, homicides, and accidental or undetermined deaths, with suicides accounting for the largest portion.
Breakdown of Firearm Deaths (2023)
- Suicides: 27,300 (approximately 58% of the total)
- Homicides: Approximately 17,927 (roughly 38%)
- Other deaths: The remaining deaths were due to accidental circumstances, legal intervention (e.g., killings by law enforcement), or undetermined causes.
- Increase from Previous Years: While the total number of deaths decreased slightly by 3% from 2022 to 2023, the number of gun-related deaths has significantly increased by 39.1% since 2014.
- Suicide Rate: 2023 saw the highest number of gun suicides in 40 years
Lol! What a word salad!
You mean like how the race card is abused when censoring discussion on crime?
Race isn't used to justify or overlook crime.
The 2nd amendment is used to justify gun deaths, like Charlie Kirk did.
Fine. Next time you're going to Mississauga or Oshawa, you can bicycle then. Budget 8 or 10 hours for the trip. And you might not even make it, if you're not young and fit.
But you don't need a gun to get by in Toronto - or any other Canadian city.
You must hate pedestrians and the environment, leave the driving to the professionals.Fine. Next time you're going to Mississauga or Oshawa, you can bicycle then.

See, it's that easy to trivialize the "need" for a private automobile. Maybe think twice when you criticize someone else's life choices.
Not that I've heard of.
As you know, a deer's neck is significantly larger than a human and the trajectory makes all the difference. I'm not at all dismissing your personal experience. I've seen the strangest ballistic/impact signatures on things that don't make sense. At both extremes.
All I'm saying is that getting hit in the neck with any 30.06 slug at the trajectory he was hit seemed to have caused less damage than that slug did.
I have no alternate theory and have been careful to preface my Les Nessman Buckeye News Hawk reporter ballistic analysis with words like, "looks like", "should", might" etc.
But whatever calibre, I fear that these sniper attacks are going to continue if not increase with the rabid, rapid polarization the US is infected with.
I've looked frame by frame as closely as I can and while I do think I see a little bit of a flagged projection of some textile material, it doesn't add up to a normal sized hunting rifle to my eye.
But it's too grainy to draw any conclusions from.

Canadian style gun laws would definitely help. It's really crazy how they want to make gun access easier when they already have a 3rd world level of gun violence. Like why in the flying fuck do you need guns in public places including government buildings and out in public? Hand guns should be prohibited to at home and thr gun range. Hunting rifles to home and the woods. You really shouldn't be able to buy ammo out of vending machines or guns in a back ally beside a gun show. There should also be a required gun safety course which should he mandatory and a limit to thr amount of guns owned and much stricted penalties for people who don't secure them. Why this is so crazy to the conservatives is beyond me
Fuck George Floyd, he was a career criminal and a piece of shit.
Holy shit, "vending machines"? "Back alley behind a gun show"? You're not actually familiar with gun laws in the US are you?
Well then I stand corrected, although the basic message stays the same - zone is being flooded...
Nah. I just have to get to the burbs and there's no other practical way of getting out there. You clearly don't live in this city.
Yeah, but there ARE all those pedestrians on the 401, I guess. Strange that I haven't killed 15 or 20 pedestrians, given that I'm such a automobile fiend.
Sure. But he didn't deserve to be murdered either.
Many 3rd world nations have less gun violence than the US.
Looks like she's been let go from her job as a result of this vid...So sad.
