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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
