It has been a while since we had a meaningful discussion about guns. Last year, there were 19,361 intentional deaths in the US (excluding suicide) where a gun was used. There were 1454 reported defensive shootings. There were 39,424 injuries. There were 2,280 unintentional shootings. Suicides by gun were 24,156.

There were 611 killed in mass shootings, but that definition is a bit up for grabs.

I know all the usual arguments but I'd like to see what people think about this question:

Is there a problem here that needs to be solved? To me, the main statistics are 19,361 deaths and 39,424 injuries. Mass shootings are not as common as people think, so I suspect the question revolves around how you view the stats on intentional deaths and injuries.

I am not looking to reargue anything; everyone is pretty entrenched. Just this question - is there a problem here to be solved or not. First principles, as Marcus Aurelius says.
