War on Christmas

The 27 people killed by guns in America on Christmas this year [not including suicides] is equal to the total number of people killed in gun homicides in an entire year in Austria, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, Estonia, Bermuda, Hong Kong and Iceland, combined.

[...]

So far this year, we've averaged roughly 36 gun fatalities and 73 gun injuries each day, according to the Gun Violence Archive. So the Christmas Day tally represents something of a temporary de-escalation in the violence, but not a huge one.

USA! USA! We're Number One!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
