Homicide is a leading cause of death in kids, and RATES ARE RISING, study finds

The words "RATES ARE RISING" is what practically jumped off my screen when I scrolled down to this post.

"Rates are rising." RISING. Just how much are the rates going to have to rise before the gun hampers perceive that this is a serious problem? And why do I think that there may have to be piles of dead bodies in the streets before that happens? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
