It is time to "Support the Children"
In 8 years more kids have been killed by domestic gun owners than troops killed in combat in over twice that time.
It is time.
Get rid of guns.
Stop the Global War.
[EDIT - Read my original comment above. The kids are being killed in or outside of schools, and in fact more are killed in their homes than in their schools. Somehow the adding of [in U.S. Schools] bugs people and somehow nerfs the gun debate.
Read the memes below as:
Students Killed
7,182
Since 2012
Troops killed overseas in COMBAT
6,915
Since 2001
There. Now it is more accurate. But if you ask me, it is even worse. If it was just in schools then it would be a much more narrow problem to solve.]

He returned to this calculus in 2019, sharpening the point: gun accidents alone kill more children than police violence does.
More kids are dying from the gun hobby than the police
The statistics from March hardened into something rawer by November: pure grief, no more data, just a demand for action.
Just how many more children need to be killed for gun owners to take responsibility for their hobby?
