Despite decline, gun violence remains major crisis in U.S.

On average, 125-people die in gun-related incidents every single day in the United States.

This includes homicides, suicides and accidental deaths.

While the numbers have edged lower in recent years - they remain near the record highs seen during the pandemic.

Violence prevention advocates are growing concerned that President-elect Donald Trump could reverse whatever modest gains have been made when he reclaims the White House next month.
