(OP)
33,000 people die from firearm related injuries in the US every year
22,000 are from suicide
11,000 are from accidents, homicides, police shootings and shootings from other criminal activities
With a population of nearly 325 million
11,000 non suicidal firearm related deaths is statistically insignificant, difficult for families involved, but as far as being an "Epidemic", not even close, not even on the radar
10,000 people are killed in the US each year by by alcohol impaired drivers, where is the outrage over "Automobile" violence, where are the calls to ban alcohol, to ban automobiles
Influenza (the Flu) and pneumonia kill , 55,000 people every year, where is the war on the Flu, where are the sob stories
Diabetes, kills 77,000, again no outrage, no teary-eyed news anchors, no memorials, no hashtags, people are just as dead, 7 times the number of intentional firearm deaths
Plain old Accidents, fell down, off a ladder, slipped, tripped, ect, kill 137,000 a year, 13 times as many as intentional firearm deaths, no this looks more like a large problem, but out of 325 million still not a big deal
615,000 die every year from heart disease, almost entirely preventable, and with measures that do not require a re-writing of the constitution, 55 times the rate of IFD, all those families hurt just as badly, where are the go-fund me money beggars, were are the candlelight vigils
More people die from heart disease than died in all the battles of The War of Northern Aggression, that's 200,000 more every year than all US deaths in WWII, every year, where are the speeches in Congress
More people die in the US every year from Heart Disease than all the US casualties in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, every single year, but instead all the tears are being shed for the 11,000 killed by firearms
Spare me, please
It is all about power, taking away from one group so another can rule with impunity
