Hysteria on the Homefront

[Scroll to “Hatred on the Homefront,” toward bottom of page.]

“Each day in the United States,” Heather Cunnigham states authoritatively, “10 children are murdered, 16 die from guns, and 8,042 are reported abused or neglected.”

“16,” Heather? The gungrabbers used to say “13.” I guess they’ve updated their stats since the FBI released their Uniform Crime Statistics in 1997.

Have they also updated their statistics so they don’t—depending on the source—include “children” from 19 to 24 engaging in criminal gang activities?
