DOJ Report: Youth Gun Violence Down 95% from 1994 (my note: While gun have become more prevalent) from Breitbart Feed A recently released Department of Justice (DOJ) study shows that youth aged 12 through 17 are six times more likely to be attacked by someone using a knife instead of gun. The study shows a heavy drop—a full 95%—in gun-related violence toward youth from 1994 to 2010. Moreover, the study shows that "serious crimes against youth perpetrated at schools dropped 62%" over this same period of time. The study also showed that youth who came from a single parent home were 3.8 times more likely to be a victim of violent crime, and "homicides among American youth declined by 65 percent from 1993 to 2010." Nevertheless, President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) are pushing for more stringent gun control.
