More information on the disinformation the victim-disarmament group spreads: In the early 90s we were subjected to an intense media campaign about child gun deaths, with the statistic that at least 1 kid (under the age of twenty) dies each hour from a gunshot and 5 are injured in the same amount of time. These lies were accompanied by video clips of children finding guns in dressers and doing stuff like looking down the barrel. Most of the kids shown were under 7. However, according to medical records and government statistics of the time, less than 10 kids under 10 died in gun accidents. They got their incredibly inflated statistic from adding in all the gang deaths involving minors, all the times that citizens shot minors in defense, and all the minors righteously shot by police in the commission of a crime.

There is no epidemic of gun deaths in America, despite what the media will tell you. Guns are used between 700,000 times and 2.5 million times per year in self defense by citizens, often involving the mere showing of a weapon to an assailant. Citizens kill between 3-10 times the number of assailants as police officers do, and police shoot and kill the wrong person 11 times more than citizens do.
