NEW YORK -- A three-story electronic billboard was unveiled Wednesday in New York's Times Square to show a running total of the nation's deaths by gunfire.

Dubbed the 'Deathclock,' the billboard was the brainchild of New Jersey millionaire Robert Brennan, who was in Times Square for the unveiling.

Brennan has said he wants to build similar billboards in other cities, including Los Angeles, Miami, Washington and Newark, N.J.

You know those "This worksite has gone ____ days without a workplace injury." signs? I want a website that simply has a "America has gone ____ days without a mass shooting." graphic that updates automatically and which allows for the posting of a small applet that updates automatically.

I want one so I can put it in my sig line. I'm tired of the gun deaths...I want an end to RKBA.
