The ceremony kicking off the Newtown, Conn., bus tour on gun control. (WIll Holt)

Six months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, victims’ families, elected officials and faith leaders gathered in Newtown, Conn., for the launch of a nationwide bus tour to step up the pressure on politicians for stronger gun-control laws and to commemorate those who were killed.

At the pretour ceremony on Friday morning, crowds gathered in front of Newtown’s Edmond Town Hall. There, a ticker counted the number of people killed by gun violence since the Sandy Hook shootings that claimed the lives of 20 students and six educators. When the ceremony commenced, that number was 6,003.

“Over 6,000 have been killed by guns in six months alone,” said Steve Barton, a survivor of the July 2012 shootings in Aurora, Colo., and a speaker at Friday’s ceremony. “More than 3,000 will be killed while this bus is on the road if we don’t do anything.”

Barton, who works with the nonprofit advocacy group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, also said, “Today’s a day of remembrance. Not just for the Read More »from Bus tour commemorating Sandy Hook takes gun control on the road

I remain very suspicious of the figures that this asshole is tossing around. To a New England progressive there's nothing like a little emotional rhetoric to fan the flames of their cause du jour, they've been doing that since the mid-19th century.

I was going to look it up, because I think it's BS too. No way do 1000 die of GSW in one month.

Maybe 6,000 world-wide, including armed conflicts, hunting accidents, etc.

"According to new crime statistics from the FBI, more people were killed in 2011 by hammers and other blunt objects than rifles.

This is pretty interesting statistic considering the current political climate in the United States. A rifle ban is as illogical as it is unconstitutional. We face far greater danger from individuals armed with carpenters’ tools, a tire iron or a baseball bat.

In 2011, 496 people were murdered with a hammer or a blunt object compared to just 323 murders that were committed with a rifle and only a small percentage of rifles are semi-automatic. Blunt objects also beat out the number of murders committed with a shotgun (356). Should we register or ban all blunt objects? 1,694 people were killed by knives. Should all knives be banned?

Personal weapons (hands, feet) and knives were also considered more dangerous than rifles and shotguns. More people were beaten to death by the use of hands, feet, fists, etc (728) than rifles and shotguns combined.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
