[quote=Anonymous]A joint investigation by The Associated Press and USA Today revealed that [u]gun accidents kill at least one child in the U.S. every other day on average[/u]. ... children 17 years old and younger died from accidental shootings "far more than ... federal statistics indicate." ... The report stated that Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia are among the states with the highest per capita rates of accidental shootings involving minors and that [u]most accidental shootings occur in homes where handguns are legally owned by adults for self-protection[/u]. ... The findings also showed a spike in the number of shootings that resulted in death or injury involving 3-year-olds -- "the vast majority of which were self-inflicted." http://www.statesman.com/news/national/gun-accidents-kill-least-child-every-other-day-report-says/fkcF7rDks5CKsS05fG0FsJ/ [/quote]
