Eleven good ideas, including:
Don’t commit suicide. This is the most common gun-related death, being about 63% of all firearm deaths in the US.
Do not join a gang. Violence is the accepted norm among gang members, resulting in many becoming victims of gun violence.
Stay away from Gun Free Zones. One study showed that 98% of all mass shootings happen in these places. Gun Free Zone signs tell violent people this is a spot where the picking will be easy. As for everywhere else, these predators may be deterred since they have to wonder if there’s already a good guy with a gun on the property.
And a final (unnumbered) word to the wise:
Thankfully, the odds of anyone in the U.S. dying from gun violence each year is exceedingly low. Implementing the suggestions here will reduce those odds even further.
