"...people being shot in the US, the overwhelming majority of whom were criminals involved in criminal activity shooting other criminals."

Of the 33,000 gun deaths in the US last year, fully 16,500 of them-- that is 50%-- were suicides.

A further 14% were domestic murders, mostly of women.

There were 153 mass shootings (where a shooter killed four or more people) last year in the US. These were not criminals shooting criminals, either.

You should do some research before making such absurd claims.
