Spreading hate against gun-owners won't solve the problem. The problem is two-fold; mental illness and gangs in cities. Look at who is getting shot to figure out why they are being murdered.
Additionally, there were more suicides than murders. Again, look at who is committing suicide to figure out a solution, not just bitch about how they do it. No Lefty gives a shit about Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade because they hung themselves; they didn't use a gun.
1) it's an archival study meaning they chose their data and then compiled it.
2) Half of all suicides are with a gun. Most are elderly white men.
3) The murder rate is up to 7.5 which is trending up from 2016 in this chart but still well below the 90s.

The number of murders rose 8.6 percent nationwide in 2016, according to the FBI’s newest round of crime statistics, released Monday. There were an estimated 17,250 murders1 last year, up from 15,883 in 2015. The murder rate also rose for a second straight year, but it’s still roughly where it was in 2008, far below the levels of the 1980s and early 1990s. Meanwhile, the share of murders committed with a firearm rose to a record high.2

Of course facts are facts. Fox News uses them all the time. It's not the facts that are the problem, it's the spin.
Here's some facts; States ranked by suicide rate: https://www.beckershospitalreview.co...te-072121.html
States ranked by murder rate. https://worldpopulationreview.com/st...-rate-by-state
Note the Top 10 of each. They don't match. Why do you think that is? If guns were the problem, shouldn't they match up?
