It's not meant to sound stupid, it was literally my first thought at reading the title. Any other country I would have taken it as "50 ever" but this being the US, is it 50 for the whole year? That sounds too low. 50 this month? What would be a bituch, I guess.
That was the point I was trying to make, that the US is at a point in history that such a statement needs more information, and that is bizarre to me.
I understand yours point, sorry for being harsh. Look here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-violence-claimed-lives-5000-people-2024/story?id=107262776
