Quote of the day--on America, guns and death rates

Americans account for 80 percent of all firearm deaths among high-income populous countries. Every day in the United States, around 300 people, including 65 children and teens, are injured or killed with guns in murders, assaults, suicides, and accidents. A police chief recently testified before Congress and stunned them with the fact that “America has lost more people to gun violence than during all the wars in the 20th century combined.” --Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence Link to original post: http://blog.bradycampaign.org/?p=2753
