Gun control debate (merged)

What’s the leading cause of death in children (14 and under)?

Glad to see the cognitive dissonance, I mean “political”, forum is still cranking out gems daily.

Ignorance and bad parenting.

.

Abortion.

 

[Sandman 423]

Clearly that’s what we should be worried about .. clearly . FYI .. all related firearm deaths including the highest statics ( suicide ) comes in at around 44-45k a year .

Why do they not list abortions on the list? It would come in just below heart disease @ 620,000

Does. Not. Help. The. Gun. Grabber. Agenda.

Not a constitutional right , it poses no threat to to the government , so they aren’t interested in those numbers and it’s a huge money maker .

All of that is an excellent argument for more people having access to more guns. I congratulate you.

There isn't a valid argument for less access to guns.

If only we could order them by mail without showing an ID.

Ignorance and bad parenting.

Add in drug abuse, poverty, fatherless households, and gang violence.

 

[hog88]

Add in drug abuse, poverty, fatherless households, and gang violence.

All of that goes back to my two root causes.

 

[hndog609]

Add in drug abuse, poverty, fatherless households, and gang violence.

I'd wager there is a very strong overrepresentation in the homicide numbers centered around upper teen "children" from exactly that factor.

 

[kiddiedoc]

By the numbers: Nearly two-thirds of the 4,368 U.S. children up to age 19 who were killed by guns in 2020 were homicide victims, per the CDC. Motor vehicle crashes, formerly the leading cause of death for kids one and older, killed nearly 4,000 children.

Another 30% of firearm-related child fatalities were suicides, 3% were accidental and 2% were of undetermined intent.
Male youths were significantly more likely to be killed by guns, while vehicle crashes claimed more females.
There were also stark racial disparities. The firearm death rate for Black children was more than four times that of white children, and white children were still more likely to be killed by motor vehicles than guns.
D.C. had the highest firearm death rate,

My whole argument is that you hide your head in the sand except for the agenda you like push . Just like you have done with the mentally stable President you voted for that’s trying his best to take away our constitutional rights . Without looking I’ll bet alcohol related deaths are close to or more than gun related deaths .. when was the last time you supported reducing alcohol production/ producers ? Cherry picking never works

They’ll just propose a tax that never does anything they say it will. People still pay $9 for a pack of Newport’s. After the shooting in California (one of them) they’re already talking about raising the age to buy an “assault” rifle to 21 even though a pistol was used and the shooter was 67. Look at how they’ve flip flopped on the pistol brace for the past 10 years. The government is inept in actually fixing anything.

 

[GroverCleveland]

I don't disagree but there are a lot of places (states) that would try and convict this guy because he shot him in the back fleeing. The finisher shot wasn't necessary IMO.

Read up on the Miami FBI shooting years ago. One the perps killed two FBI agents after receiving a mortal wound.

Nope. I do not know what I would do in that circumstance, but would not recommend a perp find out. I have put down too many animals hunting or had to on a farm to be much concerned with someone who threatened me.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Big win for the 2nd Amendment last night. Been a solid year of people learning that others' right to play Rambo trump their right to go on living. Good stuff. Just what the founders intended.

Yes, Cali needs more gun laws!!!

From the WHO:

Injuries (including road traffic injuries and drowning) are the leading causes of death among older children and young adolescents. In fact, injuries rank among the top causes of death and lifelong disability among those aged 5–14 years.

If I remember correctly, he walked up and kicked the gun away. I'm sure your experience with hunting makes you an expert in killing people walking away from you. I don't know what I would have done in his position. I can't say that shooting all the deer that I have and killing hogs and such would prepare me to take a life.

Apparently you have trouble reading for comprehension, because I specifically stated “I don’t know what I would have done…”.
I mentioned the hunting because it seems those with a background of taking game or doing things like knock hogs in the head with a hammer, etc, better prepares one for the possibility of taking a life. No one knows until they have to, and I also lack military training which is why I am always careful to qualify that I don’t know what I’d do In a given situation I have not been in before. Probably most do not.

That you would equate the two speaks volumes.

 

[C-south]

Yea I’m not sure being an alcoholic is a fundamental right specifically covered in the constitution.

 

[LouderVol]

That you would equate the two speaks volumes.

Which two? Two of your political stances aligning? Or two of the most common preventable deaths?

 

[Grand Vol]

All of that is an excellent argument for more people having access to more guns. I congratulate you.

It's so much better when a sitting President threatens military force (yet again) against the civilian population.

That's a way better reason to be armed...

That F-15 needs a pilot after all.

 

[0nelilreb]

That you can’t speaks louder .
