oldypigeonpopper Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hello, I would say gun deaths over all of the USA, within a total of over 300 million residents , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I would as that is all deaths as gun deaths in the us run at about 100 to 120 a day I think, and about 60% of those shot them selves in some way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly as bad as SA! Edited to say that’s South Africa, not South America. 🙂 Edited April 10, 2021 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 How many suicides are there in the UK each day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 2 minutes ago, Fisheruk said: How many suicides are there in the UK each day? I’ve just googled it and the Office of National Statistics records 5691 in 2019. That’s about 11 per 100000. That’s 109 per week in the UK. The adult population of the USA is 253,768,092 that’s a little less than 5 times the adult population of the uk The number of suicides in the USA is reported to be a bit over 48000 per annum. That’s a bit over 14 per 100000 Given the huge number of firearms in the USA, that’s not a massive difference. Still sad that so many folk in both countries get to such a point of despair that they think it would be better dead. It’s something I just can’t imagine or understand. Says something about our modern life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
