I'm gonna go with a pretty obvious number. . . zero. Zero is the right number of kids who should die due to accidental or deliberate firing of a gun.
I mean. . . guns are a tool designed to put a hole in people. Kids are people, and an upsetting number of them got holes put through their little bodies last year. This is is order to defend against. . . what, exactly? What number of people do you believe had their lives saved by guns last year?

I agree we need better gun laws. But for those people on here who seem to know so much about all of this, what EXACTLY do you propose?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

1. A 30 day waiting period to purchase any type of firearm.
2. Better background checks, including interviews with family, neighbours, and co-workers (if applicable).
3. Licensing of all gun holders.
4. Initial safety training with recertification every two years.
5. Annual fees to keep license active.
6. Suspension of license for varying length of time, depending on infraction.
7. Eliminate the gun show/private sales loophole.
That'll do to go on with.

The gun culture will be screaming "slippery slope" as their only argument against stronger laws.

Great thing is though you can turn that logic back on them

No guns for civilians. Guns are tools for putting holes through people's bodies. The average Joe on the street shouldn't have the power to be judge and jury over another's life in the course of a few seconds.
