You are spot on. Thanks to the GOP, the NRA, and ALEC, the US suffers wartime casualties in the Homeland without having to step foot into Pashtunistan or Iraq.

Est. total US KIA in Vietnam (~1965-1975 = 58,000. As the CDC reported, America is at 48,000 KIA per annum from internal firearms violence. When does the US reach 58,000 per year?

By contrast to our immediate north, in 2021 the entire country of Canada (40m people) suffered 297 total victims of firearms-related homicide, a rate of 0.78 per 100,000 population.
