“From 2001 through 2010 there were 5,991 people killed by guns in South Carolina. That’s 15 percent more than all U.S. combat deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. As of 2010, somebody is killed with a gun every 14 hours in the state, and an aggravated assault with a firearm occurs every hour and a half.”
