Chicago Gun Deaths This Year…500 (so far)…120 Children
500 people have died by guns in Chicago this year (so far). 120 of those who have died are children. Why isn’t the nation mourning them?
How many UU churches have talked about the children who have died because of guns in places besides Newtown?
Because the only- or at least, the primary- answer most UUs have is more gun control. It confuses them that Chicago could have some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation and still have this level of violence.
