Tragedy in the Skies--Crash of Flight 1771 Kills 43 People
Our leaders, our politicians, the National Rifle Assn. and the people of this country can all take the blame for the tragic deaths of 43 people in the recent crash of a PSA jetliner all because of the easy availability of a handgun. Handgun controls in other nations make a big difference.
In 1983 handguns killed 35 people in Japan; 8 in Great Britain; 27 in Switzerland; 6 in Canada; 7 in Sweden; 10 in Australia, and 9,014 in the U.S., according to Handgun Control Inc.
