More American Gun Related Deaths After Sandy Hook, Than In The Entire Iraqi War

It’s like we have our very own war going on right here in America. And the NRA and Republicans in Congress are doing everything possible to keep things that way.

More than ten years ago, in March of 2003, American-led forces began their invasion of Iraq. Since then, 4,409 American service members died in the Iraq War.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, by contrast, occurred less than six months ago. As of this writing, according to data published by Slate, 4,539 people have been killed by guns in the United States.
