520    "Each year, approximately forty thousand Americans are 
       killed by gunshot wounds, which is roughly equivalent to 
       the annual rate of traffic deaths on American roads and 
       highways. Of those forty thousand gun fatalities, more 
       than half of them are suicides, which in turn account for 
       half of all suicides per year. Add in the murders caused 
       by guns, the accidental deaths caused by guns, the law 
       enforcement killings caused by guns, and the average comes
       out to more than one hundred Americans killed by bullets 
       every day. On that same average day, another two hundred-
       plus are wounded by guns, which translates into eighty 
       thousand a year. Eighty thousand wounded and forty 
       thousand dead, or one hundred and twenty thousand 
       ambulance calls and emergency room cases for every twelve-
       month tick of the clock, but the toll of gun violence goes
       far beyond the pierced and bloodied bodies of the victims 
       themselves, spilling out into the devastations visited 
       upon their immediate families, their extended families, 
       their friends, their fellow workers, the people of their 
       neighborhoods, their schools, their churches, their 
       softball teams, and communities at large-the vast brigade 
       of lives touched by the presence of a single person who 
       lives or has lived among them-meaning that the number of 
       Americans directly or indirectly marked by gun violence 
       every year must be tallied in the millions"-- Provided by
