WASHINGTON.

The wave of violence with firearms that has plagued the United States for years, and that last year claimed the lives of 106 people a day,
represents a real "human rights crisis" for the country, reported today the organization Amnesty International (AI).

"Violence with firearms in the United States is a human rights crisis (...). T
he United States is failing in its obligation to protect and promote the human rights reflected in international law, "AI said in a new report.

Under the title 'In the line of fire.
Human Rights and the crisis of violence with firearms in the United States',
the document analyzes the impact on the population of the use of this type of weapons,
whose possession is seen by many Americans as an inalienable right.

The United States is experiencing a humanitarian crisis due to firearms, says Amnesty International

The data compiled by the organization for 2016 indicates that, during this period, 38,658 people died on US soil due to firearms.
Of these deaths, 22 thousand 938 cases were suicides, while 14 thousand 415 were homicides.

In total, reports the document, some 116,000 people were injured throughout the country because of a gunshot.

The remaining registered cases were: 495 accidents, 510 legal interventions and in 300 cases the reason was not determined.
This figure shows a daily count of 317 injured people who managed to survive,
"at least enough time to be transferred to the hospital," laments the organization.


All these data, says AI, place the United States at the head of the industrialized countries
with the most deaths due to the use of firearms, both in absolute numbers and in per capita data.
AI blames this situation, to a large extent, on US legislation that, according to critics,
"does not do enough to restrict access to weapons"
nor does it have a unified tracking system to control ownership of them.
