  3. Ban Youths Under 18 From Tanning Salons

  8. Do gun laws reduce deaths?

    A&nbsp;study by a Harvard pediatrician, published in the influential Journal of the American Medical Association, suggests that states with more gun laws have lower mortality rates from firearms. But the author acknowledges that he can&rsquo;t prove that more gun laws cause lower gun deaths. Critics say the study is flawed for other reasons: For example, it includes suicides in its gun-death figures, even though gun laws are meant to stop homicides. Some blame Congress for making such studies difficult, saying that the NRA persuaded it to stop funding gun research in the 1990s. Do you think that stronger and more gun laws results in fewer gun deaths? Or do states with more gun laws simply have fewer guns&nbsp;and fewer gun owners &mdash; and therefore fewer opportunities for gun deaths? What&rsquo;s your view?&nbsp;
