This may put the school shootings into perspective.
The New York produced the graphics below on daily American gun deaths. The last available data is from 2004. I find it interesting there are not enough black suicides to rate even one bullet in any of the age groups, while whites, white men in particular, rate at the least four except in the very youngest category.
Keep in mind while looking at this: over twice this figure (176) were injured by gun fire -- daily.
In the next 2 groups, suicide by gun becomes more prominent.
This last one gets me: lots of old white men. What's up with that? Does Charlton Heston know that part of the equation? Have a gun around the house, and the older you get, the more likely you'll use it -- on yourself.
