Projected Gun Deaths



As the increasing rate of people being killed by firearms has showed no signs of slacking so far, from 2013 to 2022 an estimated 339,400 people will be killed by firearms.

That figure is 29,526 more firearm deaths when compared to the historical ten year period from 2002 to 2011.

To give you some perspective on those numbers, 339,000 people is roughly equivalent to the entire population of Tampa, Fla.
