Study claims one in five US adults has lost a family member to gun violence

We haven’t read the story yet, but we’re making guesses as to which gun control group conducted this study and how it went about it. One in five U.S. adults has lost a family member to gun violence? What do they mean by “family member”? This editor is old enough to remember when the Weekly World News ran a headline connecting Bill Cosby and Mikhail Gorbachev as distant cousins, making the point that anyone can be connected to anyone with enough steps. Is your great-aunt’s second cousin you’ve never met a family member?

Olivia Land reports:

Nearly one in five adults in the US say they have a relative who was killed by a gun, a disturbing new study revealed Tuesday.

The troubling statistic included death by suicide, according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The study also found that people of color were disproportionately impacted by gun violence, with three in 10 black adults and one-fifth of Hispanic respondents saying they have witnessed someone being shot.

Thirty-four percent of black adults reported having a family member who was killed by a firearm, or two times the share of white adults who said the same.

“Despite these concerns, the study found that 41 percent of participants said they lived in a household with guns.” What do you mean, despite these concerns? It’s because of these concerns.

Ben Shapiro earlier alerted us to the new term “drug workers” — like how prostitution became sex work? Dealing fentanyl now makes you a drug worker.

We’re really kind of surprised the New York Post picked up and ran with this the way they did, sprinkling their article with photo after photo of grieving people consoling each other.
