2. Reader Comment of the Day: "In all due respect to Sen Katherine Clark, the fake-tistic: "Every day in this country we lose eight children to gun violence." includes "children" is expanded to include those up to the age of 19 in order to get a significant count. These "children" are involved in drugs and gang violence. If you look at the statistics for what you consider children, accidental deaths is about 30 a year. All very tragic, but hardly 8 a day. A child of that age will more likely die in a backyard pool from drowning," reader Fred B commenting on the article, Legislators Call for Common Sense Gun Reforms at Wilmington Public Safety Hearing.
