Florida was 3rd with the highest gun deaths with 3,041 in 2020. California had 3,449. California has 39 million people .. Florida had 21 million.
Florida gun violence numbers are scary high. Right there with Texas and California but have half the population of those 2 States. |
Misleading here…you are including suicides with total guns deaths which is easy to do because mainstream media like include it to skew the narrative

2020 homicides, which I imagine 95-97% committed with gun:
California leads the way in homicides with 2,368, Texas 2,212, Florida 1,530
Put that in context with murders in 2020 cities:
Chicago 774, Philadelphia 499, New York 447, Los Angeles 355, Baltimore 335
Also that shooting above was drug related
