Assuming statistical averages of the recent past are steady, since the beginning of this thread on December 18, approximately 400 Americans, many of them children, many of them accidental, have died from gun violence.

About 100 Americans die every day from gun violence. That's more than 36,000 over the course of a year. The annual death count is about 10 times that of the World Trade Center terrorist murders.

Such a waste.
