Palm Beach Post opinion piece about US gun use...

"As the independent non-profit Children's Defense Fund has pointed out, gun violence is now the leading cause of U.S children's deaths. It reported that there are nine fatal shootings of children per day. That's one killing every two hours and thirty-six minutes."

The piece points out that most killings are individual -- linked to crime and gangs -- that result in the deaths of African-American and minority children. It. Must. Stop.
