arm injuries each year, including 25,000 from hand-
gun violence;
(2) firearms rank as the 8th leading cause of
death in the United States, and less than 5 percent
of fatal shootings are unintentional;
(3) the National Center for Health Statistics
reported in March 1993 that, among Americans age
15 through 24, firearms are the cause of more
deaths than all natural causes combined;
(4) from 1979 to 1989, the firearm homicide
rate among children age 15 through 19 increased 61
percent, while the nonfirearm homicide rate fell 29
percent;
(5) more than 135,000 students carry hand-
guns to school everyday, and an additional 270,000
students have carried a gun to school at least once;
(6) the United States leads industrialized na-
tions in the percentage of households with firearms
and the number of homicides with guns;
(7) according to the Centers for Disease Con-
trol, the estimated lifetime costs for firearm injuries
that occurred in 1985 will be $14,400,000,000;
(8) according to the 1991 Advisory Council on
Social Security, the overall annual cost of firearms
injury to the health care system in the United States

ries, excluding professional fees and the cost of am-

chase of the firearms and ammunition most com-
monly associated with injury and death;
