How Many People Have Been Killed by Guns Since Newtown?


This is from the Slate website by Chris Kirk and Dan Kois
Using the most recent CDC estimates for yearly deaths by guns in the United States, it is likely that as of today, 7/30/2013, roughly 19,684 people have died from guns in the United States since the Newtown shootings. Compare that number to the number of deaths reported in the news [6,666, see site] and you can see how undertold the story of gun violence in America actually is.
