Editorials keeping kids from killing. (1997, Jan 31). The Atlanta Constitution Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/413625973?accountid=17222
Editorial's Claim:
The editorial claims that the most important problem to focus on regarding the case of homicidal adolescents is to focus on and help the adolescents and do what we can to make sure they have the help and necessities/economic owning to keep them from going down or continuing down a path of hurt and possible imprisonment.
Significant Piece of Evidence:
The most outstanding and significant piece of evidence that the Editorial's author used in the writing of the argument was that regarding the availability for the adolescents to get firearms.
"By one estimate there are at least 200 million guns in circulation in America, almost enough to arm every man, woman and child. Without strict laws insisting that gun owners keep their firearms locked away, it's no wonder that children continue to get guns." (Keeping Kids from Killing)

It shows the abundance of firearms in the US, and addresses why it may be easy to get one in the house, as there were no strict laws as how to lock them up.
My Opinion of the Claim:
My opinion is that I agree that the problem to be addressed is the kids who are in danger of killing or have killed. Be it due to psychological reasons, or material reasons, possibly even laws against weapons or dangerous material, I think that help should be made available for the kids so that all options are open to avoid criminal actions, and that all measures are taken to make it dangerous situations less frequent.
