Here is another sobering thought.

34,387 children and teens in the US were reported to be injured by guns in 2008 and 2009. That is more than the number of US military personnel wounded in Iraq, and more than double the number wounded in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan, where they were fighting tyranny a few posts up.

So, what if the threat of tyranny wasn't in Iraq or Afghanistan, but right in our backyards? During peacetime? And we were collectively enabling it?
