The data show that the best way to prevent shootings is to have stricter gun laws. From @everytown “IN AN AVERAGE YEAR, 1,143 PEOPLE DIE BY GUNS IN TENNESSEE. WITH A RATE OF 16.9 DEATHS PER 100,000 PEOPLE, TENNESSEE HAS THE 12TH-HIGHEST RATE OF GUN DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES.” 12th out of 50. That not great. That’s a failing grade.
