Twelve years after recording “Stray Bullet” as part of Organized Konfusion, Brooklyn’s own Pharoahe Monch is still protesting gun violence, including Sean Bell’s shooting, with his latest single and video, “Gun Draws”. Because Monch has refused to edit the graphic video to meet TV standards, this is an internet exclusive. Along with the video and lyrics, the accompanying website has some startling facts about how gun violence affects young people in the US.

American children are more at risk from firearms than the children of any other industrialized nation. In one year, firearms killed no children in Japan, 19 in Great Britain, 57 in Germany, 109 in France, 153 in Canada, and 5,285 in the United States. (Centers for Disease Control)

Adjusting for population differences, over twice as many children in the United States were killed by guns than in Canada in one year.
