Whichever side of the gun debate you find yourself on, it is important to feel our nation’s gun wound. The Brady Campaign website has a daily count for gun deaths in the US. Our average is 268 people shot every day, or 97,820 shot every year. So far this year, at the end of our first month with one day to go, we have lost 8,189 Americans to gun deaths this year.
