Guns Don't Kill


The quote, “guns don't kill people, people kill people” comes from NRA members and other gun rights advocates. If that is true then a corollary, “guns don't kill kids, kids kill kids” applies.
Example DETROIT: 1/17/14— A 4-year-old boy was fatally shot Thursday in what police said was a tragic, avoidable accident. The shooter was the boy's 4-year-old female cousin


A year after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Mother Jones has analyzed the subsequent deaths of 194 children ages 12 and under who were reported in news accounts to have died.
72 of the young victims either pulled the trigger themselves or were shot dead by another kid.

At least 52 deaths involved a child handling a gun left unsecured.
