The term “gun death” is fairly problematic in a lot of ways. First, guns aren’t dying, so there’s that.
Moreover, it treats all deaths resulting from a gunshot as somehow equal. We don’t see numbers for everyone who dies as the result of an edged implement like a knife or razorblade, for example. We don’t see “gravity deaths” that include people who jump off of a bridge and those tossed out of a 14th story window.
It’s just the guns.
