The July 1st issue of US News & World report had a totally slanted, one sided veiw of guns as killers of children and how they add to the nations health care bill. Of course they NEVER considered the 1 to 2.5 million times that guns are used to PREVENT crime and SAVE lives each year in America. (See Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Vol. 86, fall 1995, and Social Problems, Vol 35, Feb 1988) Furthermore, the guns are unvolved in less than ONE PERCENT of all childhood deaths. (See New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 270; 2207-2212, 1993.) Tell those propagandists how you feel, at: letters@usnews.com Or better yet, write to the idiots at: 2400 N Street NW Washington DC 20037 Do something or else the mass media brainwash the hearts and minds of the American people.
