Here’s a List of People Injured or Killed by Guns on ‘Gun Appreciation Day’

Robert Kessler
Yesterday was deemed a day to appreciate your guns in America, and boy did we. Five people were shot at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana. These were not, however, the only instances of gun violence yesterday.

As happens everyday, numerous people were either injured or killed by guns on "Gun Appreciation Day," be it on purpose or accidentally. Spanning Alaska to Florida, here are those people:

A 14-year-old suburban Atlanta boy shot and killed his 15-year-old brother while playing with their mother's handgun.

A 26 year old was shot and killed while driving in San Francisco.

A man was found dead from a gunshot wound in his home in Kansas City, Kansas.

Of course, guns don't kill people, people kill people - No sarcasm.

More symptoms of a sick, violent and unhappy society. There is something wrong with the way we humans are doing things, don't you think?
