The Violence Policy Center analysis More Guns, More Shootings, explains that “the common focus on gun deaths as a marker to illustrate America’s ‘gun problem’ obscures an alarming trend. The number of persons who suffer nonfatal gunshot injuries--that is, who are shot but do not die--has risen…, this means simply that more people are being shot by guns every year. In other words, America’s gun problem is getting worse, not better. More guns means more shootings.”
