#gunproblem

I have posted and reposted some of my #politicalcartoon #cartoons (Same ones), unfortunately, too frequently, in the recent years. We have a #gunproblem in our country. We #debate about it and #tiptoe around #legislature to address the human and hardware factors. In #newzeland it happened and they were swift to make #legislative changes. #notinamerica where instead we have to do #activeshootertraining for our kids. We must also give no press time to the individuals who are committing such crimes, instead celebrate heroes who take action and save lives. But heroes and innocent civilians should not even be in such positions. #thoughtsandprayers are not substitute for action and they certainly do not stop bullets. Having lived in a war zone and lived through a bloody revolution I may have a different point of view but I always advocate for #Love and #peace. #concernedcitizen #concernedparent #kavehadel #dentist #cartoonist #author #graphicnovelist #coach and #dentalschoolprofessor 🤓🦷☮️❤️ https://www.instagram.com/knadel/p/BxR42tEFTRT/?igshid=lqgnlzk205jc

JezusChrist.... but no, there's no #gunproblem in America, right!? Riiiight!!!? #Repost @voxdotcom ・・・ In the first 24 hours of the new year, hundreds of incidents of gun violence happened across the United States, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive and Vox. At least 64 people were killed and more than a hundred were injured. Generally, New Year’s Day — which is associated with drinking and partying — is a bit more violent than a typical day of the year. But looking over the incidents reveals a pattern of gun violence that is commonplace in America. As of the morning of January 5, 2017, the number of shootings has risen to more than 500 total, resulting in at least 113 deaths hundreds of injuries. This averages out to around 100 people killed or injured each day of 2017 by gun violence in the United States — not too far off from the average over the past two years — with no signs of slowing.
