September 2012 Monthly Shooting Report

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) whose data comes direct from hospitals, there are 88 people killed by firearms each day, 603 during a week, and 2,612 monthly.  The Nasty Jack report, with sources exclusively from the media, will obviously reflect smaller numbers than the CDC, but with dates and locations

Sept. 2012 came in lower than August in all categories, most significant was the drop in the number of shootings; a total of 113.  Deaths by firearms were only 7 less but the wounded were down 106.  Even with decreases, monthly deaths were still 70, and 159 were wounded in 229 shootings.  TOO MUCH!  Notably, the two largest cities in the country in states with some of the most stringent gun control laws, New York and Los Angeles, had only one incident each.

Chicago is still suffering from its gang warfare but there was some relief in that there were 4 less incidents in September than August.  And Phoenix, Arizona, the capital of loose gun control, had a total of 7 incidents, leading most every other city even close to its size.  There was another mass shooting during the month in Minneapolis, Minnesota where a gunman killed five including himself and wounded four others.  The grim statistics just keep piling up.

Gun control in the crosshairs
Yet, not a mention about gun control by the President or Republican contender Mitt Romney in last week’s debate.  Nor was there a question raised on that issue by seasoned debate host, Jim Lehrer.  I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up the NRA’s mythical hold on this country—mythical because the public has been showered with lies against sensible gun control convincing naïve Americans gun rights have an absolute protection from the Constitution, which is not true.

Therefore, we had no dialogue over one of the most important dilemmas this country has ever had, which is the death of innocent Americans from firearms that are available to anyone to take anywhere.  Here are the numbers for September:
