1. Guns are an unfortunate and dangerous reality in the lives of our children and adolescents (青少年). It is estimated that 44 million Americans own over 190 million guns. Nearly one-half of all homes contain guns, and despite continuing educational efforts, the majority of these guns are kept loaded, unlocked and potentially accessible to children. Research indicates that if a gun is stored in a home, the risk of homicide (杀人) increases threefold and the risk of suicide increases fivefold. Guns also are 43 times more likely to be used to kill a family member or someone known to a family than to kill a stranger. 2. Children and adolescents have easy access to guns. Over 7 % of high school students indicated that they carried a gun in the past month, and it is estimated that approximately one million children bring guns to school each year. Many students who carry guns do so because they are afraid or influenced by peer pressure. 3. The United States has the highest rates of firearm-related deaths among industrialized countries, including homicide, suicide and unintentional deaths; young people are often the victims. Gun violence accounts for over 4,000 deaths and over 12,000 injuries each year among children and adolescents. The rate of firearm-related homicides for U. S. children younger than 15 years of age is nearly 16 times greater than the rates in 25 other industrialized countries combined. 4. The most effective measure to prevent firearm-related deaths and injuries to children and adolescents is the removal of guns from homes and communities. This is particularly critical for homes or families in which the threat of personal violence exists. The AACAP also supports all efforts to educate children and the general public about the danger of guns, and the increased risk of accidental injury and death associated with gun ownership.【缺少答案,请补充】
