http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/3-myths-gun-lobbyists-want-us-population-believe-fact/1058159/
What if I told you there were 53 gun deaths in the last week of May 2015?
That number might surprise you because its grossly low-balling it. Thats actually the number of gun deaths in the US in the last day of May.
Think about that: In one day this year, there were more than two deaths every hour by gunshot.
June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, an important time to highlight a growing problem we have in this country. Some consider gun violence to be a public health epidemic, and the stats give a pretty good indication why.
The gunners believe these myths with a religious fervor because, like any other religion, the 2nd Amendment adherents prefer faith over facts.
30,000 gun deaths a year and increasing every year. $200 B in costs every year. When is this issue going to get the attention it deserves?
