Answer:

D-O’Mara puts statistics about gun deaths in a new light in order to shock readers into acknowledging the devastation of gun violence.

Explanation:

From the article, "Gun Debate? What Gun Debate?", Mark O'Mara makes an argument about the gun problem in America. He believes that while gun-rights advocates argue that gun control would be an infringement on their rights to self-defense as enshrined in the Second Amendment, they have ignored the fact that there have been quite a number of gun-related deaths, more especially in schools.

He brings the statistic of the number of gun-related deaths each year which according to him is at 300,000 deaths per year and putting it in perspective, America lost 60,000 soldiers in the Vietnam war.
