here are some interesting fact about gun crime liberal will not like
Preliminary Conclusions and Analysis
Although the overall national rate of firearm homicide decreased from 2021 to 2022, the rate remained higher than in 2019. The onset of higher rates has been attributed to a range of factors, including economic and social stressors and disruptions in health and emergency services related to longstanding systemic inequities (such as employment or housing), which were worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic (1,3,4).
Although firearm homicide rates decreased for some groups in 2022, rates remained elevated overall compared with 2019, particularly among Black persons, and the rate increased among AI/AN persons. Continued prevention efforts, particularly those addressing social and structural conditions that contribute to violence, are needed to mitigate risks and inequities. These efforts include policies and programs promoting economic and housing security, hospital and community-based outreach and violence interruption programs, initiatives to enhance secure firearm storage to prevent unauthorized access or use, environmental changes such as remediating vacant lots, and therapeutic approaches to address trauma.¶ Such efforts can be furthered through partnerships involving community organizations that serve and represent those most affected by violence.

The number of firearm deaths, excluding suicides, in 2023
Gun deaths, excluding suicides, fell for the second straight year, down 7 percent from 2022’s total of more than 20,000. The decline reverses a trend that peaked during the pandemic in 2021 when the United States suffered the most gun deaths on record. This total comes from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, and it includes murders, accidental shootings, and homicides deemed legally justified. The Gun Violence Archive does not track suicides, which account for more than half of all gun deaths. [Gun Violence Archive]
Federal grant funding awarded for community violence intervention programs and state crisis interventions since 2022
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act made available $250 million in grant funding for community-based organizations working to reduce gun violence. The Justice Department awarded the first round of $100 million grants in 2022, and followed that up with $90 million in 2023, bringing the total so far to nearly $200 million. Another $238 million has been provided under the BSCA to help states implement laws aimed at disarming dangerous people, mental health and drug courts, and other crisis interventions.
Kinda seem sto me there was little funding for the program while biden spent billions on the Ukraine and illegals.
Gun Deaths Declined for a Second Straight Year in 2023
The Gun Violence Archive tracked slightly fewer gun deaths, excluding suicides, in 2023, compared to 2022 and 2021, the year with the most gun deaths on record.
2023, 79 percent were perpetrated with guns. Other methods — like knives, suffocation, and poisoning — accounted for the remaining 21 percent. A decade earlier, in 2013, 70 percent of homicides were perpetrated with guns.
