D.C. Sniper Court Victory Helps Reform Gun Industry and Save Lives [View all]

[SecularMotion]

(Long Island, N.Y.) Ten years ago this month, on the evening of October 14, 2002, a 47-year-old woman was loading her car after shopping at Home Depot in Falls Church, Virginia, when gunfire came out of nowhere, and she was shot dead, in front of her husband. Her name was Linda Franklin. She was an FBI analyst, and a mother of two.

Linda was one of 13 people shot that month by the D.C.-area snipers, who were arrested October 24.

You see, those three weeks in October were fairly typical in terms of gun violence in America.

In the 10 years since those shootings, about 1 million people have been shot in America, about 300,000 lost their lives. Imagine the governmental response if those guns were fired by terrorists or some enemy force.
