To: RandallFlagg
Lib media has been trying to whip up hysteria over child deaths from guns for decades. Maybe half a century. While the occasional tragic death of a child occurs due to idiot adults who are not responsible, most “child” related gun deaths are gang-related. And of course, the media never publishes stories of armed, law-abiding citizens stopping crime. I’ll bet most people think the number of crimes stopped thanks to a legally armed citizen is about 100. The actual number is over a million a year. Maybe more.

Well...
I'm still thinking about it.
There hasn't been many news stories that are actually, "Zombie-Related," lately.

The definition of a child to a leftie is anyone who hasn’t collected a social security check.

Those are not children, they are categorized as “adolescents”, when aged 9 through 59.

guns may save 200 kids from going to hospital, or morgue, every day, too
besides it is all so irrelevant.

A national database of patients younger than 20 I assume that includes those children in the military.

Stop bathing now! I think that's already one of the liberals Ten Commandments.
One that most of them seem to adhere to religiously.

BS... show me the statistics... I would be willing to bet that most of these "children" they are talking about are gang bangers under the age of 18.

In other words, gun violence deaths and hospitalizations come in behind deaths and hospitalizations from any of the top five causes of accidental deaths and injuries. Fifteen times as many kids died in motor vehicle accidents in 2009 as died from guns. So why are the guns being singled out?

No, I don’t really need an answer. I think I know.

Abortion destroys over 3,000 lives per day.you can count on that
And just a quibble but as a son, father and grandfather it destroys more lives than the innocent ones murdered.
