Posted by bingbong on Tue Feb 5 12:16:24 2013, in response to Today in Guns, posted by bingbong on Sat Feb 2 18:39:56 2013. Feb 5, 2013Slate has bee running a gun violence counter. Since Dec 14, 2012 (the day of the Newtown Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting) it's 1577 as of this posting. That's as accurate a number as they can get, yet is probably doesn't cover the complete picture as they need to depend on individuals reporting local news. Why isn't the government collecting this data? Why isn't every gun related incident required to be reported to the a central database so we can truly ascertain the depth and breadth of gun violence in America? Then we'd be able to act responsibly about it based on fact. |
