Reminds me of Dianne’s line from Bojack Horseman: “I can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns”
In an episode where there’s a huge uptick in women carrying firearms, instead of helping to make society a better place for women, they just decide to ban guns instead.
God I love that episode and that line. It’s so sad how that observation somehow became even more relevant today than it was back when that episode released.
That doesn’t account for population increases, but that still looks like per-capita increase nevertheless, which is embarrassing in a developed country. Especially if you compare that with other similarly developed countries with comparable populations, which mostly have a line declining to double digit totals.
EDIT: Here’s data looking at the maternal mortality rate, over the same period, with a few comparable countries.
Republicans took this personally.
they really did, when you click on “Explore the data by country” and choose United States …

Thank you.
not too far off from the real world – modern gun control laws started with Ronald Reagan in California trying to keep guns out of the hands of blacks …
