Two factors explain this discrepancy – one, misclassified shootings; and two, overlooked incidents. Regarding the former, the CPRC determined that the FBI reports had misclassified five shootings: In two incidents, the Bureau notes in its detailed write-up that citizens possessing valid firearms permits confronted the shooters and caused them to flee the scene. However, the FBI did not list these cases as being stopped by armed citizens because police later apprehended the attackers. In two other incidents, the FBI misidentified armed civilians as armed security personnel. Finally, the FBI failed to mention citizen engagement in one incident.
Never let your government disarm you. They dont have your interests at heart.

That seems easy to verify, and sure enough, it is false. Here's a source on it being over 250k. This source corroborates, as of 2019. I would guess the number is much higher now, due to Ukraine. Where are you getting your information?
Should have said "die from guns in the US"
48k is the number for the US. However, over 50% of that number is from suicides
Wow maybe we should have tighter restrictions on guns so people get help instead of killing themselves!
Or maybe we should decide that it's not the government's job to be a nanny-state and protect people from themselves; because someone might misuse a tool and hurt themself with it isn't a good reason to deny everybody the use of that tool.
