JPEG of the day: America's shameful record of gun-related murders


This number is more Americans that died in any war in the country's history:

American Deaths by War:
American Civil War. 625,000. 
World War II. 405,399. 
World War I. 116,516. 
Vietnam. 58,151. 
Korean War. 36,516.

And thousands of Americans will continue to die in the name of "gun freedom," thanks to NRA lobbying and GOP policies on this issue.  I believe in the right to bear arms, but not in every type of gun and weapon. We need universal background checks and common sense policies.
