in the wake of virginia tech, the new york times published a graphic of daily deaths by gunfire. i think it’s well done. deaths are split into four groups, by age, and within that into other discreet groups, like black men murdered, or women suicides. i found some of it surprising. i think i might have said that young black males would be the largest group to die by gunfire, but no it’s over 40 white male suicides by a long way.
thanks rob
