Does anyone know if it's possible to suggest edits to Wikipedia without having to make them yourself? The first and third references to this Wikipedia article no longer exist.

Lots of violence in the Philippines involving guns. Seems pretty dangerous place.

At least they are not used for mass killings.

There are 1200 gun killings in 2019 which dropped significantly from 5000 in 2009.

The Philippines at 7.9 per 100k population is still lower than the US at 10.9.

Also worth to note that a lot of people here have guns and a lot of them are even unlicensed. But we do not have mass shootings.
