More Than Six People Injured or Killed By Guns Daily Since January
A “Parkland Massacre” Every Week
These shooting victims do not receive nationwide publicity via corporate media because they are predominantly 1) Poor, 2) Black, 3) Their assailants wield illegally-purchased and/or stolen firearms (unlike Adam Lanza, Nikolas Cruz, and other bogeys) 4) Their municipality’s intensive gun control efforts have failed, and 5) They and/or their assailants do not receive support or abetment from the Democratic National Committee, US Department of Justice, US Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, FBI, BATF, CNN, their state government, corrupt state and local law enforcement agencies, and the Gun Control Lobby
