Protect Children, Not Guns
In view of the awful shootings in Connecticut, which have resulted in the deaths of 27, read this article called Protect Children, Not Guns.
This is the introductory paragraph.
In 2008, 2,947 children and teens died from guns in the United States and 2,793 died in 2009 for a total of 5,740—one child or teen every three hours, eight every day, 55 every week for two years. Six times as many children and teens—34,387—suffered nonfatal gun injuries as gun deaths in 2008 and 2009. This is equal to one child or teen every 31 minutes, 47 every day, and 331 children and teens every week.
They are chilling figures and all the Americans do is get more guns.
