>> Abortion destroys over 3,000 lives per day.

And that's just the women who are spiritually scarred by their sins.

Abortion KILLS 3000 children every day ... and the demonic left cheers it on.

What percentage of these “children” are gang bangers?

This is the pertinent part:

“A national database of patients younger than 20 who were admitted to hospitals in 2009 shows that boys represented nearly 90% of the total...the rate of gunshot-related hospitalizations for African American males was 10 times that of white males.

Blacks ages 15 to 19 were 13 times more likely than their white peers to be injured by gunfire.”

IOW, it has nothing to do with accidents. It has a great deal to do with criminal activity in the inner cities. It is sad, but it has nothing to do with law-abiding people owning guns.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Numbers are routinely tortured
twisted and abused to meet any

And this:

“Victims ages 15 to 19 made up 84% of the children brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and two-thirds of those injuries were attributed to assault.”

OK...so guns are used by criminals to attack people regardless of age. What does that have to do with me, or my kids?

The study is a profound condemnation of “black culture”.

The LATimes can’t even cover that up. Though they don’t mention it of course.

Exactly...It has everything to do with young gang members shooting or getting shot by other gang members.

Melissa Healy should take up a profession other than journalism, she’s a hack.
