Jeff--actually that Utah fact is a little misleading becuase utah as so few people killed...only like 10 or less were teenagers....I don't have the link to the study becuase it was info sent to me by my organization...but here is some interesting stuff to ponder
"It shouldn't take a Columbine, a Jonesboro or an inner-city drive-by shooting to make us realize that American children are more at risk from firearms than the children of any other industrialized nation. In one year, firearms killed no children in Japan, 19 in Great Britain, 57 in Germany, 109 in France, 153 in Canada, and 5,285 in the United States."
"Guns do kill people, especially when wielded by children. More than 800 Americans, young and old, die each year from guns shot by children under the age of 19." http://www.silentmarch.org/index.htm
