Washington-Sana

Caroline Elleukom, director of the health care team at the US Government Accountability Office, revealed that gun violence costs the United States about $300 billion a year.

ABC News reported that according to research by government groups and activists after compiling and reviewing available public data, from hospital bills and lost wages to lost production, gun violence costs the United States $280 billion a year.

Ucom indicated that more than 194,000 people were killed in armed violence in the United States during the past five years, with an average of 39,000 deaths annually.

Many international experts in the field of human rights believe that the right to own a gun in American law is a fatal American freedom. Mass killings that Americans wake up to from time to time are a prominent feature of American society.

According to statistics, 600 mass killings occurred in the United States during the past year alone.
