It's not over after that trigger is pulled . . .

[AndyS]

“It's not over after that trigger is pulled and it hits someone. It's the beginning of a new life, and some people just don't know how to live.”

—Charles Horton, 50, who's been a wheelchair user since sustaining a spinal cord injury in a 1988 shooting.

There are more than 100,000 people affected by gunshot wounds every year.

What is wrong with us?

2. I was

I was shot in the chest when I was 12 years old. I remember the incident like it was yesterday. The court case the cops made me go to seemed worse than the shooting itself.

5. Thank you

I was actually shot standing in front of my neighbor's house. Not a good afternoon.

4. For the shooter also:

I read somewhere that, on average, the legal costs of a shooting —found to be justified— is over $50,000.

Got that much laying’ around in old Bud Light cans? Carry on then, cowboy.
