Of course,some most of you would rather not heed the Chinese proverb that 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.
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,
Better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you are an idiot than open it and confirm their opinion.

Missouri Gun Rights
from ssgmarkcr
I ran across this news item regarding a proposed change to the Missouri State Constitution.
"The amendment would define the right to bear arms as "unalienable" and require the state to defend against any "infringement" of that right. It would also include keeping ammunition and defending one's "family" with a firearm as guaranteed constitutional rights.The state constitution already protects the right to bear arms in defense of an individual's home, property and person. Supporters contend the measure would force courts to use a higher standard of review when considering the constitutionality of gun controls."One thing I found interesting was the mention of a failed initiative vote to require a shall issue permit system which even though spending in favor of the initiative greatly outspent its opponents, it still failed. After the failure to pass the legislation by initiative, it ended up being passed through the legislature.It will be interesting to see how this fares when it comes up for a vote.
