Summary:
Every day, forty-eight children and teens are shot; of these, seven will die from gun-related violence.

Or, as others state, will this lead to an uptick in violence among those who obtain guns illegally? This text introduces different perspectives about this important and timely issue. Experts, politicians, judges, and everyday people weigh in on this contentious issue, allowing students to analyze gun control from all sides.
