It’s Official: Gun Deaths Hit an All-Time High in 2020

"The number of gun deaths in America hit an all-time high in 2020, owing mostly to an increase in homicides, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of 45,222 people died of gunshot wounds — a 14 percent jump from 2019 and the largest year-over-year rise on record."

We must work even harder here in Maine and at the national level to save lives from gun violence.
