    "A survey of parents in Missouri and Illinois reveals that about half of the children in the families queried spent time in homes that have firearms. However, few reported talking about gun safety with their children's pediatricians."

    Yet, how many of their children have ever been harmed by a gun?


    "In 2013, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 2,465 children and adolescents under age 20 died from firearm-related incidents; 15,091 were treated in emergency rooms, and 6,213 were hospitalized, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

    How many of them were involved in criminal activity at the time?  How many babies were aborted in the same time frame?  NONE of them survived!
