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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
