New Mexico in Top 10! Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions: New Mexico had 479 gun deaths in 2020. Of those, 63% were suicides, 31% homicides and 6% other.
In a recent road rage incident, someone in a pickup truck fired 17 shots at the car of a family leaving a minor league baseball game. They killed an 11 year old and seriously wounded his 23 year old aunt. Gun right advocates will tell you that if that family had been armed it could have defended itself from that hail of bullets.

@dougiec3 That’s (17 shots) what you call human or insane? You might ask are humans responsible enough to carry lethal power? Some are, some aren’t, but it’s irresponsible to allow the wrong people to be armed and clearly being an adult citizen is not nearly enough of a qualifier to grant the possession of lethal power with a trigger squeeze. A remake of the 2A is long overdue.🤔 🇺🇸
