Had to say it. Need to warn everyone that firearms are running around rampant shooting children....according to National Public Radio.

Leading cause of death in children….abortion.
Also they consider a “cold” up to 19 years old. If you knock it down to the actual age of a child then the leftist sensationalism is good. They’re really pushing the anti gun grab…

Yepp.

NPR has to keep the issue alive of destroying the 2A that’s all this dissonance is about. NPR only cares about children if they can use them to advance a political agenda. Else they are disposable.

Despite all the gun carnage of the “children” in the demonkkrap cities, people in general seem less moved by the left’s fake tears in the age of anti-local law enforcement.
Children that NPR as no problem with being ripped out of their mother’s womb, ... NPR ....about children who they believe can be groomed outside of their family unit to make decisions on self-mutilation. Hell, if children can do that, then they should be able to own guns, drive cars, vote, drink, smoke MJ and get conscripted starting at the age of 7.

Citing the CDC for stats about firearm deaths? When the CDC exaggerated the infection rate for Covid-19 and insisted that lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates were necessary? That the origin of SARS-CoV-2 was not from a Fauci-funded lab in China? That the vaccines were safe and effective and would prevent infection?
That only the unvaccinated could spread Covid-19? The CDC that misled the public about proper therapeutics (Hydroxychloroquine/zinc, Ivermectin) and instead pushed Remdesivir? That CDC?

To NPR, anybody under 18 is a child, so the statistics include teenage gang bangers, thugs, mobsters, rappers, etc.

A review of the most recent studies show that a simple comparison between urban vs. rural firearm mortality is misleading because of a higher rate of suicides in rural areas.
A better metric for measuring the increase in violent crime is to focus on U.S. murder rates by county.
When the proper focus is applied we find that most murders nationwide occur in a small set of counties (5%) associated with major urban areas. [1]

So the NPR statement is a LIE. Why can’t we take people to court and put them out of business when they do this?

This is accurate, because of the COVID lockdowns:

1) Motor vehicle accidents for "children" declined because of the lockdowns which lowered the number of miles driven.

2) Firearm suicide rates for "children" in 2020 during the worst of the lockdowns skyrocketed.

3) Homicides of "children" skyrocketed in 2020 due to the "catch and release" policies of Soros-funded big city prosecutors releasing violent felons to commit more violent felonies.

They seem too much like work to men.

Although I saw a video that showed that you could decontaminate a pool by pouring a bottle of vodka into it each day for four days. You’d only have scrape out leaves and other debris that naturally collects.

Phhht...communists are comunisting again.

The most dangerous location in the world is the womb.

Far more dangerous than even Ukraine or North Korea. In the US egal abortion alone demonstrates that the frog in the pan is soup.

Leading cause of death of U.S. citizens?

Abortion. Approximately 1 million children are aborted every year.
