Gun study

Some startling findings in a new gun study.

Researchers at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children say almost everyday in Ontario, a child is injured or killed by a gun.  They looked at the health records of millions of children and determined about three quarters of the injuries were accidental.  They are hoping this research will lead to greater efforts to reduce firearm deaths among young people.
