The United States topped the world about the evils of guns cause: average annual 100,000 casualties by fire, which killed about 30,000 (ie 32 436 deaths in 1997). The total number of Americans who die from gun accidents in the country more than the total number of American soldiers killed in all the wars abroad. Suicide by fire is a major problem. President Obama admitted every 36 hours, 12 American children die from violent crime.
