How many of your "gun related deaths" are two drug dealers shooting at each other over money or territory? Who won't be deterred because "guns are illegal" any more than they are by "drugs are illegal"?

For instance, 34 of 46 (74%) registered school shootings all over the world between 1996 and 2005 happened in the US. And the 3 last ones weren´t even included. This gives an indication already.
The rate of firearm deaths among kids under age 15 is almost 12 times higher in the United States than in 25 other industrialized countries
combined.
American kids are nine times more likely to die from a firearm accident than children in 25 other industrialized countries
combined.
The National School Boards Association estimates that more than 135,000 guns are brought into U.S. schools
each day.
You want us to believe that all these kids are drugs criminals?
PS I see MaggieL´s fetish with Occam´s Razor is almost equals to TW´s thingie with Rush Limbaugh...
