"They say they don’t worry about guns at school — or anywhere else."
"But in a town where plenty of people hunt and even more wear military uniforms, they know some kids have access to guns."
"And that’s why the Jacksonville High School Student Council got involved in a nationwide pledge against gun violence." ...
"According to statistics compiled by Grow’s organization, 30,000 people die nationwide as a result of gun violence a year, and about 4,000 of them are under the age of 19."

That's funny -- FBI's latest figures are just more than half that many. They must compile figures taken from the websites of fanatical anti-gun liars. |

| 30,000 deaths to gun violence? FBI said this week 8,719 murders. Grow's organization may be including suicides, does anyone know that statistic? In any case, doubt total is 30K. |

| Although I doubt the figure is 30,000, but even if it is I'll sacrafice 30,000 to save 2.5 million a year every year. A firearm is used approximately 2.5 million times a years to stop a violent act. I like those odds, how about you.........Maybe those 30,000 should think about buying and learning how to use a firearm. |
