In 2020 more than 45,000 children died by gun.
More than 45,000 children. Our kids.
First time in 60 years the leading cause was not automobile accidents. 60 years.
45,000.
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.
45 thousand.
It wasn’t all murder. It includes accidents and suicide. Have you ever met with a mental health counselor with a teen in crisis? I have. One of the first questions is “do you keep a gun in the house?” Do I need to explain. Ask.
How many is too many.
45k.
We have more guns in this country than people.
An assault weapon has one purpose. One.
Kill people. Lots of people. Quickly.
Are you listening?
45 thousand of our children.
Do you care?
What are you going to do?
How many is too many?
