28 U.S. children, teens die from gun violence each day: article

NEW YORK, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Each day, 28 U.S. children and teens, the equivalent of a high school classroom, die from gun violence, making it the No. 1 killer of youth through age 24, science education and policy website Science 2.0 on Wednesday cited the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

"The problem with gun deaths is that everyone can use them across multiple arenas," said the report, noting that the U.S. government doesn't do anything to prevent crime against kids with over 20,000 laws regulating guns in existence now.
