Click here: Every American Gun Death Since Newtown

It takes a while to scroll through 3,500 people, but eventually you get down to this:



Remember them. Remember, right there at the end, 20 tiny children.

I know the 3,500 number is hard, it's big. Don't diminish the rest, every one was loved by someone.

But if you need it to be simple, just remember those 20 tiny children, gone.

We either get this done, today, tomorrow, next month, next year -- or admit they died for nothing.

It's our call.

You're acting as if they were murdered/martyred for standing for gun control and that if we don't pass it, they will have been sacrificed in vain.

This is patently ridiculous. They died because some fucking crazy asshole killed them. That's it.

There is nothing that will make their deaths anything other than senseless and pointless.
