SMHs, Children & Guns
Including SIDS, the child fatality rate of SMHs is 364 times higher than the child fatality rate of guns.
Children in SMHs are 7 to 44 times more likely to be 'fatally abused' than children in families.
Children from single-mother households,
compared to children of two-parent families where the father is present, are more likely
to go to prison by 20 times, to commit suicide by 5 times, to have behavioral problems by
20 times, to become rapists by 14 times, to run away by 32 times, to abuse chemical
substances by 10 times, to drop out of high school by 9 times, to be seriously abused by
33 times, to be fatally abused by 73 times, to be one tenth as likely to get A's in
school, and to [per Lenore Weitzman] have a 72% lower standard of living.

| Children 14 Years & Under | Number | Rate |
| Killed by 28 million SMHs | 10,200 | 36.4 per 100,000 SMHs |
| Killed by 40 million non-SMHs | 420 | 1.05 per 100,000 non-SMHs |
| Killed by 230 million guns | 220 | 0.1 per 100,000 Guns |
| Killed by 95 million Guns in SMHs | 183 | 0.1925 per 100,000 Guns |
| Killed by 135 million Guns in non-SMHs | 37 | 0.0275 per 100,000 Guns |
| Killed by 181.7 million licensed auto drivers | 3,100 | 1.7 per 100,000 licensed drivers |
| Gun Death Rate of SMHs:Gun Death Rate of non-SMHs | 7X | |
| Ratio of SMH Death Rate:Gun Death Rate | 364X |
Including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, 46 times as
many children die in SMH's (10,200/year) than die by guns (220year http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/af8.htm#H ), and 24 times as many as die in non-SMHs (420/year).
There are 230 million guns, 40 million non-SMHs, and only 28 million SMHs, so the proper
comparison is 36.4 deaths per 100,000 SMHs, 0.1 deaths per 100,000 guns, and 0.0275
per 100,000 non-SMHs. More than 83% or 183 of the 220 children killed by guns
last year were killed in the 28 million SMH's, and 37 in the 40 million non-SMHs.
This is a gun fatality rate of 0.1925 children per 100,000 SHMs versus 0..0275 per 100,000
non-SMHs. Children are thus 7 times more likely to die from guns in SMHs than in
non-SMHs, and 364 times more likely to die from all causes in an SMH than from guns.
