        So, under @BarackObama 2009-2016 US gun deaths initially hovered, then rose rapidly. @realDonaldTrump became President on 20 January 2017.

        Our govt officials have taken the reins off of gun control. Promoting gun ownership.

        was profound: 'legal now till it's used in a mass shooting. then they will ban it, and there will be a shit storm'. However, no ban in sight

        Rise in the last couple years coincides with Black Lives Matter movement. Cops not able to police inner cities. Just sayin'.

        Most of the gun deaths in inner cities where police have backed off for fear of being called racist for doing their job in keeping safety.

        CDC stats 2015, 10,265 deaths cause by drunk drivers, 209 children under the age of 14, is this not a stark rise in deaths?
