I quote Norton1's response to me:

"I think what Jed was stating is that your assumption of 33,000 children killed each year by a handgun is ludicrous. And it is ludicrous."

This is a total distortion of what I said. I said that an average of 36,000 AMERICANS, "many of them kinds," are killed each year by gun violence.

I did not say that 33,000 of those were children. Perhaps you should actually read what people say before commenting.

BTW, this thread is telling me that this is a group that I'm not sure I want to be a part of. I came here out of an interest in folk music, not to be among right wing fanatics.

Keep well and please keep your guns away from your children.
