NEW YORK, July 11 (Xinhua) -- The rising number of gun deaths in the United States extends beyond high-profile shooting attacks, emerging nearly every day inside homes, outside bars and on the streets of many cities, reported The Washington Post (WP) last week, citing federal data.
The surge in gun violence comes as firearm purchases rose to record levels in 2020 and 2021, with more than 43 million guns estimated to have been purchased during that period, according to a WP analysis of federal data on gun background checks.
