Something to think about:
With thousands of gun deaths in this country every year, that is the equivalent of having a long war on our own soil.
We don't call it civil war, but why not?
If this many people died in combat against a foreign country, we would know what label to put on it.
So why is everyone scared to call the gun deaths in this country what they are?
Just a thought.
