Obviously, the mere possession of guns doesn't cause deaths. The main difference has to be in the people that own guns or in the environment they live in.

Gun related illness? I think you were looking for crime. And I would agree, we are in a poor environment, the main problem with guns is that people do not train their kids (or maybe even themselves) in the proper use of guns. I for one have never even touched a gun I didn't know how to load, unload, fire, and use the safety on. It keeps everything safe. And the rule is: "never point a gun at something you do not intend to kill."
Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school - buildmaster5000 [more]
