Stray-Bullet Death
It was astounding to read in your article about the Fourth of July shooting death of Brian Perez that 118 people were treated for such injuries in a span of seven years.
If 118 bullets struck someone, think of the hundreds (thousands?) of bullets that must have been fired and hit no one. Think of the number of guns, yes, guns once again, used to fire these bullets. Perhaps the NRA’s position is really that guns don’t kill people, bullets do?
