I'm not quite sure what you people are so stirred up about...
Quote:
Dr. John Leventhal and his team studied children and adolescents younger than age 20 at the time of admission to the hospital in 2009. In that year, in the United States, 7,391 hospitalizations occurred in this age group because of firearm injuries, and 453 of those young patients died while in the hospital. Most of these hospitalizations resulted from assaults (4,559), but in children younger than age 10, 75% of the almost 400 hospitalizations were due to unintentional or accidental injuries.

Again, so that its clear where they point out young-adult antics and mayhem..

I'm no big fan of Eastern high-brow studies or journals, particularly as they have historically applied to firearms... but nitpicking this one seems like a was of time, for a few reasons, some already mentioned here.
