To: all
A little more data that I took time to figure out.

Of all the deaths by firearms in 1999, there were 824 "accidental" deaths.

Of these 824, there were 88 deaths of children aged 14 and under, which, if I did my math properly, is less than 1/3rd of 1%.

Of those 88 deaths, 31 "accidental" deaths were from ages 9 and under.

There were 12 deaths the age range from 1 - 4.

I think more American's need to know the "real" information and not this propaganda from those that want to disarm American's.

Isn't one of the goals of the U.N. to disarm the world??

We can't let this happen!!!

824 "accidental" deaths.

That's about 2.26 per day, for ALL ages, including 19 years old and older.

there were 88 deaths of children aged 14 and under...

That is about one every 4 days.

Of those 88 deaths, 31 "accidental" deaths were from ages 9 and under.

That is about one every 11 days.

There were 12 deaths the age range from 1 - 4.

That is one a month.

That 10 kids per day myth just keeps getting weaker and weaker!!!
