U.S Citizens right to own a firearm debate

That article was written in 2000.....

Which is completely irrelevant.

It's also so full of machismo it's untrue.

"Only 142 children under 15 years of age died in gun accidents" 142 too many, and his use of the word "only" I find insulting.

"In 1995, more than 250 children ages 14 and under died in bicycle-related crashes."

From WikiAnswers. It isn't as if more gun control would help these children. Regardless, even if it did help them, the Second Amendment needs to stay. Why? Here you go.

He also gives no sources for his findings in the parts I read ( I must admit I couldn't bear to read too much of that garbage, sorry).

The Cato Institute is the source. They take the statistics and come to this conclusion. You can do it independently and come to the same result.

Fair enough, more children died in bike accidents than gun accidents. I would be interested to see if gang warfare and murder (non gang related) were listed under gun "accident".

Sorry I have no idea what the CATO institute is, so please forgive my ignorance.
