During World War One, World War Two and the wars in Vietnam and Korea, America suffered the deaths of 426,000 combat troops.1 But in the period since Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were killed in 1968, 1,000,000 American citizens have been shot dead by other Americans with private guns on the streets of America.2
The TOTAL combat deaths in ALL American wars, in some 235 years, has been “only” 651,0001 which is still 350,000 LESS than that 1,000,000 shot dead in American theaters, malls, campuses, restaurants, classrooms, private homes and public streets by American guns in the last 44 years alone.
