Despite our status as one of the most developed nations in the world, gun violence against children has become an everyday occurrence in our country. One American child or teen is shot and killed every 3 hours and 15 minutes. Twice as many children die from gun violence than from cancer. American children and teens are 17 times more likely to die from guns than their peers in other developed countries, and gun violence is the leading cause of death for African American children, according to the Childrens Defense Fund. Heaven forbid we make any sacrifices to our constitutional freedoms to turn around this ongoing tragedy and embarrassment.
