One of the main reasons why people buy guns is that they want to protect their families from “Home Invasions.” And yet gun deaths only occur in .004 percentages of burglaries. On the other hand, for every one death caused by a burglar, an average of 375 deaths are caused by suicide, domestic violence or accident. This is the high cost of having deadly weapons within arms reach in 66 million households across America.
This T-shirt uses numbers to highlight the fact that a gun in the home does NOT make anyone safer. Even math-phobes can see that.
Looking at the big picture, promoting gun control and ending gun violence will require more than just shouting at each other. It requires education. The facts show that owning a gun does not make you safer, it puts you and your family at risk. At the same time, the fear than inspires the desire for a gun, and the sense of power that a gun gives you are both corrupting influences on the soul. Fear breeds hate. Power breeds the desire to control others. This is true even if the gun is never used.
The unisex soft-style t-shirt puts a new spin on casual comfort. Made from very soft materials, this tee is 100% cotton for solid colors. Heather colors and sports grey include polyester. The shoulders have twill tape for improved durability. There are no side seams. The collar is made with ribbed knitting to prevent curling damage.

Denise –
Thank you for the t-shirt “Do the Math on Gun Deaths”. I will wear it proudly as a remembrance of my brother. My sister, brother and I were raised with guns in the home. Our parents were avid hunters and we ate more venison then beef. We were taught how to use guns safely and to respect them. Two years ago my brother committed suicide with a pistol. There is no turning back when a gun is used! I hate guns!
