While the vast majority of us use guns for defense, fun, and hunting; I believe it necessary to ensure that we never forget the toll by which our freedom comes. Neil Halloran, an animator has come up with an utterly mesmerizing (and sobering) graphic representation of the casualties of WWII. While many did not come from the result of a firearm, many did (and many more are alive today because there were used for good).
