Abstract

Data on children who are killed by handguns each year are reported. Homicide, suicide, accidental death, as well as injuries by handguns, are reviewed. It is concluded that handguns are a major cause of death among children and adolescents. The medical profession is urged to take a more active role in finding solutions to this problem.
