How about 3,625? That is the peak number of child homicides committed in 1993.
Maybe 13,791? that is the number of children and teens who were injured by gunfire in 2009.
I have one more, 20,596. Thats the decade high (2000-2010) the number of kids injured by gunfire in 2008.
I think even the most ardent gun rights advocate finds these numbers alarming.

I'm looking for a similar study detailing children who die in traffic. Still looking but found this one. its worth a read if just to remind you when not to drive or take to the sidewalks. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,146212,00.html |
Disappointing how most of those children were killed in gun free zones like Chicago, Detroit and Wash D.C.
Dozer523, let's keep this on point, gun control by the liberals is stupid and it does not work.
