Ever-growing Tribute to Gun Violence Victims in America

Pretty short to do justice to this topic.

It's not "dancing on the graves/in the blood of" or any of your other bullshit excuses for not paying attention to the victims of gun violence since the families live with it.  This was shared to me by one of the victims pictured in it.  The families of the people who are pictured here are active in the movement to end gun violence.


I don't know if Denise Decker or Nancy Faber are in this, but there are many people who have been victims who are remembered by only a few.

The time is long past for action as the number on this list grows longer on a daily basis.

Here's the latest numbers:

US Passes the 10,000 verified killed and injured people for the year mark!

This is no a meme. It is a chart verified by the site at the bottom: the http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

One of the people who is involve in this says:

We just rolled over 10,000 verified killed and injured people for the year, this evening. That is a lot of mothers and daughters and aunts and sisters who will have a less than pleasant Mothers' Day this year.

You might want to check out their methodology and about us pages before writing comments.

Also:

Total incidents includes all gun violence, not just where injuries/ death occur. Things like armed robbery, home invasions, defensive use, hostage incidents with guns that end without holes.

Also, many single incidents have multiple injuries/ deaths. Any attempt to map incident numbers to death/ injury numbers would not ever be possible in a summary..

Of course, some most of you would rather not heed the Chinese proverb that says:

Better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you are an idiot than open it and confirm their opinion.
