We have too many guns in America.
Last year, there was a single
shooting incident that killed or wounded at least four people, on average EVERY
DAY.
The
New York Times tallied 358 of these shoot-em-ups, with a total of 462 people
dead and 1,330 wounded.
“The typical victim was a man between 18 and 30, but more
than 1 in 10 were 17 or younger. Less is known about those who pulled the
triggers because nearly half of the cases remain unsolved. But of those
arrested or identified as suspects, the average age was 27.”
You
and I didn’t hear about most of these shootings. Nearly 3 out of 4 victims were
black.
Do
you think the news coverage would have been different if three quarters of the victims
were white?
We
have too many guns in America.
Too
many dead people.
