DATA POINT

6 million — the number of Americans who carried guns daily in 2019. That’s twice as many as in 2015. [The Guardian]

*AND*

Other countries are warning travelers about gun violence in the U.S. CNN reviewed travel advisories by nine neighboring and allied countries, and found that most of the governments warn tourists visiting the U.S. about violent crime. Several travel advisories reminded visitors that it is legal in many places to openly carry guns, and provided warnings about the risk of being caught in a mass shooting.

We have become the country that other countries warn their traveling citizens about. That is horrible.
