"Eight children a day are killed in this country by guns, according to the Centers for Disease Control."

How many kids per day drown in the bathtub, or choke to death while eating dinner? Get real people.

Anyone mind telling me what the hell the CDC is doing monitoring guns? You've got libs all over the place yelling that the administration isn't supporting medical research, yet they're not making a peep about the fact that the primary government institute for medical research is preaching gun control instead. That level of stupidity and hypocrisy from the libs and the CDC (which appears to be run by libs, so I might have been redundant right there) flat-out irks me.

Stats are: kids are 5 times as likely to drown in a 5 gallon bucket of water.

(Which led to a goofy sight someplace I worked: a "child drowning warning" icon on a 5-gallon bucket ... permanently attached to the top of a 4-foot industrial test machine ... behind a locked door ... in an access-controlled industrial building ... surrounded by a mile of wheat fields ... far from any children. Kinda in the same category as having braille on drive-up ATMs. But I digress.)

How many of the "Eight children a day” are criminals over the age of 18?
