Emergency-department pediatricians such as Sarah Denny of Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Michael Gittelman of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center are heartsick at the number of children they see horribly injured by firearms. At Nationwide Children’s, gunshot wounds are the leading cause of accidental death — more than car accidents. Curious children find their parents’ “hidden” and unsecured guns and think it’s a toy, or teens in an impulsive moment use the guns in a suicide attempt, leading to catastrophic injuries or death. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
