Gun Violence Prevention Advocates, Children's Defense Fund Decry Loss of Young Lives

"Gun violence prevention leaders in Minnesota today joined with leaders of the Children's Defense Fund in urging more public attention on the devastating cost of gun violence on America's children."

"On Tuesday, the Children's Defense Fund released their annual report on gun violence and young Americans. Citing the most recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the report reveals that 2,827 children and teens died as a result of gun violence in 2003 – more than the number of American fighting men and women killed in hostile action in Iraq from 2003 to April 2006." ...

KABA Note: Note that "children and teens" includes 18 and 19 year olds. Removing those adults removes over half, leaving 1309 "gun deaths". Suicide accounts for 377, and homicide in the violence prone 15 - 17 age group accounts for another 570. This leaves 362, or less than one "gun death" a day. Tragic? Yes. Sufficient grounds for further restricting our individual, human and civil rights? No.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Thanks to the government’s past record, it is unfortunately very predictable that, in spite of the severe penalties mandated, tens of thousands of people will not comply at all (with Bill C-68). A new class of criminal will be created among harmless citizens whose previous lawbreaking may have resulted in nothing more than parking tickets. — Lee Morrison, Canadian Mounted Police
