North Carolinians Against Gun Violence
Did you know that:
- In 2014, for every self-defense gun homicide in the U.S., there were 34 criminal gun homicides.
- Only 4% of violence against others is caused by the symptoms of serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
- Since 1968, 1,516,863 Americans have been killed by guns, which is more than the combined death toll for all American wars since the Revolutionary War.
- The Black male gun-death rate for people ages 20-29 is about 89 per 100,000, quadruple the rate for white males.
We will be discussing these and other gun violence statistics, myths, NC legislation, and how you can get involved. We will also learn about the biblical call to care about gun violence.
