The Dollar Cost of a Single Gun Death
Gun violence takes an economic toll as well as an emotional one. The Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation used 2010 data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to estimate the dollar cost of a single gun death. The amount exceeded $5.1 Million dollars!
I haven't checked this blog in quite a while and I was a bit surprise with the change. However, I must say that it looks good. The numbers are also a surprise, and I can only imagine how much the country spends on gun deaths per day.
