The US is reeling from another school shooting, the 45th this year, after a 26-year-old gunman murdered as many as nine people and wounded seven more at a community college in Oregon before he was killed.

... Everytown for Gun Safety, a group funded by the billionaire former mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg, noted that the Umpqua college killings are the 45th school shooting this year in the US, and the 142nd school shooting since the attack at Sandy Hook elementary school, in Connecticut, nearly three years ago.

“America is the only developed country where when someone asks if you heard about that campus shooting, you have to clarify: ‘Which one?’

Nothing to do with batshit crazies with access to weapons.

Since Obama’s reelection to a second term in November 2012 – which itself was followed by the shooting of 26 people including 20 children at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, just a few weeks later – there had been 993 mass shooting events in the United States . Thursday’s attack, at Umpqua community college in the town of Roseburg, was No 994. Almost 300 of them have occurred in 2o15...

That’s almost one every day.

Umpqua is the 294th mass shooting event in 2015, as defined by the website Shootingtracker.com, which chronicles them as an event in which four or more people are shot. Since the Newtown shooting, there have now been 994 such events in the US. The death toll of this litany of tragedy stands at approximately 1,236 people since the beginning of 2013...

Our Mission

Kids in developed countries are at much more of an advantage when it comes to having quality weapons. In underdeveloped countries many kids are stuck using small knives or stones. The fortunate ones are able to get machetes. At Guns for the Children we are trying our best to provide quality and dependable arms and ammunition to children whose only wrongdoing was not being born in the best country in the world…the United States.
