Two sides of youth violence; hot air and a sensible solution
"The Children's Defense Fund argues that we should "Protect Children, Not Guns" on its website.

They presume such steps will stop teens from murdering one another over real or imagined insults or other problems.
"This column believes firearms safety education in the schools could at least help reduce accidental shootings, though it would be nonsense to claim that any program is going to prevent a deliberate slaying..."
