From Boston U. School of Public Health: people killed with handguns in 1996
30 in Great Britain
106 in Canada
211 in Germany
15 in Japan
9,390 in the US
Centers for Disease Control study shows that American children are nearly 12 times more likely to die from a gun injury than children in 25 other industrialized countries combined. They are 11 times more likely to use a gun to commit suicide and 9 times more likely to die from an unintentional shooting.
