Today, 19 children will die or receive emergency treatment for a gunshot wound in the U.S. And tomorrow, another 19 will. And then another 19 the next day. In fact, 91% of all children who die from firearms in high-income countries across the world come from the United States, and guns are the third leading cause of death for all children between ages 1 and 17. Those are a handful of the sobering statistics reported in a new study on gun violence in Pediatrics. |

| If the author would do real research on other countries, there might a reason to debate her on it. The true tie braker on firearm deaths of our youth, is EDUCATION on firearms, if the parents and schools refuse to educate our children, this will CONTINUE to happen, it is the parents fault !!! |

| Age appropriate gun safety and handling instruction at every level of American education k through 12 would eliminate most accidental child gun injuries. But the liberal mind set is that teaching safe sex and birth control is just fine while we absolutely cannot even mention guns. That would have terrible negative influence on young minds you know. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
