Please act now. The stats are sobering:
• Between 1980 and 2012, 300 people have been killed in gun violence in schools (Kirk, 2012).
• 100,000 people a year are shot in America (Bradycampaign.org, 2011).
• Every day, eight children are killed by guns (Bradycampaign.org, 2011).
• Nearly 3,000 kids every year will die from gun murder, suicide, accidental, death, or police intervention (Bradycampaign.org, 2011).
• Between 2000 and 2009, more than 298,000 people were killed by gunshots in the United States (Waters, 2012).
• Of the 62 mass shootings carried out in America since 1982, the killers obtained weapons weapons legally in 49 cases. Of the 142 weapons in the killers’ possession, 68 were semi-automatic weapons, and 35 were assault weapons (Follman, Aronsen, and Pan, 2012)
