The number of US kids and teens who die from gunshot wounds in hospital has risen almost 60% in a decade, according to a new report. The study by two doctors looked at data from 1997 to 2009, and found the number of those hospitalized with gunshot wounds rose from 4,270 to 7,730, while the number of those that then died from them climbed from 317 to 503, NBC News reports. Eight out of 10 of the wounds came from handguns, says study author Arin L. Madenci.
The price of freedom. Also, the price of gun owners who don't believe in securing their weapons from criminals or children..
On the other thread about the stolen AR-15, many gun owners here argued that a gun is secure as long as it is inside a house, even if it is left on the counter, and I think that goes a long way to explain why there are so many firearm related accidents. People treat them like toys.
Whats the point here, are gun owners without children supposed to be doing something different?
