The difference in rates may be related to the ease of availability of guns in the United States compared with other high-income countries."

That's pretty damning stuff for the gun status quo.

The 15-19 age group was just one age group discussed in the link you posted, which was just one source of the report cited above. The report cited above stands.

When you start talking about children accessing guns in their own household, I'm sorry but how is that in anyway my problem. If someone can't do their due diligence and store their guns properly then society as a whole has to pay the price? That's a terrible argument in my opinion.

If you want to talk about tougher restrictions to buying firearms, like longer waiting periods or more extensive background checks, I'm all ears. Telling me my right to own a firearm should be restricted cause some idiot can't teach their children about gun safety is asinine.

And I completely agree on Banksy, love his stuff.
