Death by gunfire

"Since the killing of John Kennedy in 1963, more Americans have died by American gunfire than perished on foreign battlefields in the whole of the 20th century. In 2005 more than 400 children were murdered with guns."
If these two sentences from The Economist, April 21, 2007, (pg 11), don't surprise, shock, enlighten, and make you wonder if we will ever come to our senses about guns in America, then you must be brain dead or callous to the extreme.
