He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's going to see who's for freedom or not

I was raised in a household with guns. Whew, it's a miracle I survived to adulthood.

Also: According to a new analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's WONDER database, almost 40,000 people died as a result of guns last year, making it the highest number of firearm-related deaths since at least 1979.

You have to wonder how many of these 40,000 were killed in stinking little civil wars in places like Africa or South America or the Middle East.

I note in one photo an M134 minigun and an M19 automatic grenade launcher. Not likely anyone received those for Christmas.

Also at least one photo shows a girl holding a pellet gun. I wonder how many others pictured are BB, pellet or Airsoft guns?

Strange, I saw some other news articles that referenced gun-related deaths of 20,000 last year. I believe these inevitably include suicides, police shootings, Alec-Baldwin-type-dumbass accidental deaths, gang killings, etc. One would have to have accurate data and do some parsing in order to draw any useful conclusions.

What is 'The Sun'? Is it the British version of the Babylon Bee?

It's a tabloid. Probably good business to make the states look like the old west is alive and well.
