Femicide? Why is that even a word?

So, of all the women killed with guns in all high income countries what % are in the US?

There are 393,000,000 guns in America and 330,000,000 people.

Could those two numbers be related to the pie chart above?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH US?

Unfortunately, there are so many disastrous horrors happening right now that this one gets shuffled to the end of the line.

And after all, it's only about women, right?

I have no answers for your excellent questions.
