Below is the gun section of the report, here you can see just how far Al Gore and Bill Clinton want to go, in the words of their own administration. Here you can read it and decide for yourself. Children and adolescents may not be fighting more often, but when they do fight, the flood of guns makes death a far more likely outcome than ever before. Both the victims and perpetrators of homicides have become younger and younger. For young people 10 to 34 years of age, firearms are the second leading cause of death, and one out of five deaths to U.S. teens is due to firearms.
Young people can easily obtain firearms, and they carry guns on a regular basis.
A recent Justice Department survey found that 22 percent of male students at ten inner city high schools have guns and that 12 percent carry them routinely. In 1990, more U.S. teenagers died from firearm-related injuries than from all natural diseases combined. New research has demonstrated that there are high risks and minimal protective benefits to having a gun in the home. In 1991 alone, firearms were used to commit 17,746 homicides and injure 102,000 people during assaults. Furthermore, firearms were used in over 18,500 suicides, about 1,440 unintentional deaths, and an even larger number of suicide attempts and nonfatal unintentional shootings.
