We Need More Guns!

Don't we ?????

...even more

...and more

...and more

...some more

...more   (updating this is getting to be a daily task...this is only for June, and it is only the 10th)

...more

...more (this one shows why the very presence of guns in your residence raises the possibility you will be killed by one tremendously - something the CDC was researching until the NRA goons leaned on the wimpy Congress to abandon it).

...one more, with one day in June still to go

...a final coda to the gun-crazy tragedies of this lead-filled month.  The sad thing is it wasn't all that special a month by gunfire standards...in the United States.  About 20 children per day, or 7,000 per year are injured or killed by a gun both accidentally and intentionally in the US.  You need to go to a third-world country under constant war or civil unrest to match such a dismal record.

And finally...a chilling picture of what this looks like to the rest of the world, and what it might say for the US's continued involvement in the world, if people are too afraid to come here and bring their knowledge and ideas..
