Depends on where you get your information. I saw a figure of 13040 of which 7458 were suicide.
Suicide is the number one killer of teens in the US, after vehicles and guns play a part in that.

Nothing new here. Just another "normal" day in the gun crazed USA.

skud "Suicide is the number one killer of teens in the US,"

Should that make us feel better about the number of deaths by firearms?

Ms. Shaw, Of course not but it is a fact. Abolish the nra would be a good start and maybe the dems can negotiate in person voting for gun restrictions.
