As the National Rifle Association’s annual conference hits Nashville this weekend with 70,000 expected attendees, the organization has good reason to be upbeat. For another year, it has succeeded in stalling legislative attempts at moderate gun controls, rolling back existing state regulations and winning media battles. But there’s a looming question that should be seriously concerning the NRA and its supporters: how to reconcile the organization’s agenda with new evidence on the prevalence of gun accidents involving children.

Yeah but, you haven’t denied doing it either....
very good question, I stand Condemned!
I remember the first time I was called a racist....for decrying the mooselims who blew up the WTC!!
I truly believe we need mental exams for ALL voters...
I will... of course.....be in charge of administering same

Homicide
* AUTO ACCIDENTS
The automobile accounts for the largest number of accidental deaths. All infants and children should use the proper child car seats, booster seats, and seat belts.
Other top causes of accidental death are drowning, fire, falls, and poisoning.
The hoplophobes need to conflate 24 year old military officers, doctors, lawyers -- and gangsters -- with "children" in order to have guns even show up in any analysis.
We should ban cars. And swimming pools. For the children. These are objects that are much more dangerous to kids than guns. They should be easier to ban, since there is no constitutional right to a car or a swimming pool.
I wouldnt take that bet....for a million
When logic (and sanity) fail, libs can always fall back on the “fer the chillrun” trope.
Ah! A liar in training. Next he'll be a 'Democrat Strategist.'

the dems would have an exam..for the voters in heavy GOP districts they would give voters 10 seconds to correctly answer a calculus worksheet.
for dems, they have 10 minutes to write anything down..
Chicago where the toughest gun control laws are in effect yet remains in the top 5 cities in America when it comes to gun related deaths?
Without attempting to be callous, 'hundreds' is statistically tiny given the number of Americans and the number of firearms. And why do leftists constantly invoke the 'developed world' or the 'Western world' on this subject when they hate Western Civilization the rest of the time? Are we supposed to feel guilt or shame for exercising freedoms?
Oh look here - it says 1.06 million abortions were performed in 2011. Now that is significant, even gratuitous. And completely voluntary therefore easily halted.
that answer does not surprise me coming from an unmarried wife beating former slave owner..
There’s a billboard in Boston mounted on what looks like the outside of Fenway’s Green Monster wall that ticks off the number of “children” killed by “assault weapons”. No definition of either is given and no time span is referenced but daily the commuters in Boston are told that over 70,000 children are being killed with assault weapons.
Uncritical thinking isn’t actually thinking.
ahahahaha
and furthermore....neither the DEAD nor the Illegal shall be Allowed to cast ballots!!
THREE Forms of Voter ID will henceforth be required!
I don't think there is anything wrong with dead illegals voting in our elections...
What, no mention of parental responsibility? Once again, it’s the fault of an inanimate object. There are risks and trade offs to having anything potentially dangerous around, whether it be guns, snakes, or whatever. Just read an article where three thugs tried to break into a home to rape a 19 year old and rob her grandparents. The 67 year old grandfather managed to shoot all three despite being badly beaten himself. What would have happened had he not had access to his gun? Regarding snakes, I view them as a necessary evil to keep mice and rats under control. I don’t kill every one I see but take care as to where I step and put my hands, thereby trying to manage my risk. And if there were no snakes? I’d expect the rodent population to get out of control, driving me to more extreme measures. Point being, if you accept risk to avoid an undesirable event, you, not government or some individual removed from the situation, have a responsibility to manage those risks.
Gun deaths of children are FAR more tragic than ABORTION deaths of children.
In fact, there is only one form of death for children that IS tragic: That is 'gun deaths'.
All the other forms are celebratory and festive and fun!
Too bad the Chicago Sun Times isn’t as concerned about child abortion deaths as it is about gun related deaths.
More kids are killed in wading pools, car accidents and fires.
As the mother of a 16 yr old with the mental and physical make up of a 12 yr old, who was AMBUSHED and BEATEN TO DEATH WITH A 2 FOOT SECTION OF FENCE POST THIS IS PURE BS! 26 yrs ago, 6 parole hearings, his killer now walks a free man.
The pain was no less, the grief no less. It NEVER ENDS.
And I CCW as I am his #1 target.
Ask my friend Debbie whose 8 yr old daughter was RAPED, STRANGLED WITH HER OWN SHOELACES and thrown in the river. Her killer even hunted for what was believed to be a Missing Child.
Ashley Nichole ‘Nikki’ Read, age 8, she would have been 33, two days ago. RAPED and KILLED by david keen. 25 yrs ago. He has been on TN Death Row for 20 yrs. ALL State and Federal Appeals are FINISHED. DNA proved he raped her, he confessed he both raped and strangled her to death with her own shoe laces. Yet TN Gov Bill Halsam refuses to set an execution date or sign the execution warrant.

Nikki was raped, strangled with her own Shoelaces, wrapped tightly in her blanket and thrown in the river barely still alive, where she finally drown to death. 26 Yrs of waiting for Justice, is obscene.
Tell TN Governor to do his Constitutional Duty, that 2 juries decided and all appeals courts UPHELD was the right course of action. The Death Penalty.

There is only 1 way to force the state to carry out the death penalty. Take a few seconds and make the call, as it is more of an impact that a email. Contact the Governor. 615) 741-2001 bill.haslam@tn.gov
halsam says he does not set the dates. Dept of Corrections does. He appoints the head of both the Dept of Corrections and the Dept of Parole. LIES THROUGH HIS RINO TEETH to get out of doing his Constitutional Duty.
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
