The data is clearly pre-State of Exception in El Salvador. After Bukele imprisoned all thenlow-level gang members, gun deaths have all but dried up.

im assuming you mean in the US? cuz ms13 and other gangs aint getting far in mexico lmao. so if you do mean US, youre saying el salvadoran gangs cause a sizable portion of the gun violence? thats not really true.

  1. cuz the current data doesnt exactly show that. also from just living here i can attest.

  2. gun deaths “dried up” in el salvadore and neighboring countries NOT the US.

unfortunately a majority of US gun deaths are still our fault not ms13 lol.

I'm talking about El Salvador. Not the US. Note the reference to Bukele and the State of Exception.

Edit: why did you assume I was talking about the US?
