A letter to the editor in today’s New York Times succinctly makes the case that when guns are involved, people die. When they’re not, people are hurt.
To the Editor:
The New York Times, Dec. 15, 2012:
Page A1: “Gunman Massacres 20 Children at School in Connecticut.” Twenty children shot, 20 died.
Page A9: “Man Stabs 22 Children in China.” Twenty-two received knife wounds, 22 survived.
National Rifle Association claim: Guns don’t kill. People do.
Case closed.
