A majority of Americans have felt the long reach of the nation's gun violence epidemic in one way or another.
That's one of the takeaways from a national poll released on Tuesday by KFF, a nonprofit that focuses on health care research.
Specifically, the poll found about one in five people report having a family member who was fatally shot. The same share say they have been threatened with a gun. One in six said they have personally witnessed a shooting.

I've been threatened with a gun. I've been shot at, but I've never advocated that we need more gun control. Gun control has never been about the gun, it's about controlling the masses. A compliant population that can't defend itself is exactly what the left wants.
All firearm deaths
Number of deaths: 48,830
Deaths per 100,000 population: 14.7
Source: National Vital Statistics System – Mortality Data (2021) via CDC WONDER
Mortality: Drug overdose/drug poisoning deaths
Number of deaths: 106,699
Deaths per 100,000 population: 32.1
We are losing twice as many people to drug overdoses, all while the border is the fastest funnel in history allowing enough fentanyl to every American a dozen times over every year.
Most of the wall is built. Should be a no brainer, but stopping illegal drugs and aliens is not top of mind for Democrats. Control is.

Gee, why doesn't it surprise me that a liberal organization could stage a "survey" to get whatever results they wanted and that survey would be published by another liberal organization as it it were real.
