Dear Mr. President,
Neil Degrasse Tyson has become the rockstar of
astrophysicists because he has a remarkable way of explaining things that are
super complicated without dumbing them down. He has an incredible mind for
facts and data and explains things in a way that everyone can understand and we
love him for it. So when I saw that he
addressed gun violence on his twitter account I just had to check it out.
But I don't think we even need any discussion or explanation here - these facts
speak for themselves:
1.4 million: Americans who died in ALL wars fought since
1776
1.4 million: American who died via household guns since
1968
400,000:
Americans who died fighting in World War II
400,000:
Americans who died by household firearms since 2001
3,400:
American who died by terrorism since 2001
3,400:
Americans who died by household firearms since 5 weeks ago
If you can't see a problem here Mr. Trump then you are an
even bigger idiot than I thought (a very dangerous and powerful idiot).
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
