“Wake Up” Arts & Education Tuesday

Good morning!

Just over 48 hours after the terrorist activity in Orlando, Florida, the issues continue to come in to focus. Here's an important one to consider. In the US, about 31 people per million of population are shot and killed each year. Comparatively, in England and Poland, the number is 1 in every million. In Japan, it's 1 in every 10 million. Our rate of death via gunshot rivals neighboring Mexico (see drug cartels) and, of course, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Central America are higher but that's not shock is it. Do you still think that the Second Amendmant should be interpreted to mean everyone gets a gun (or an AR-15)?
