Every hour, a child is hospitalized because of a gun.
Every other day, a child is killed by gunshots.
The staggering statistics, compiled by ABC News, are part of a new 20/20 investigation into youngsters and guns and how to prevent them from shooting themselves or their peers.
An early preview of Young Guns on ABCs Good Morning America shows how curious kids will find, and play with, guns if they find them.
After telling two young boys to yell for an adult if they find a gun, a child psychologist leaves a playroom where the youngsters every move is caught on camera.
The boys quickly find the gun but they dont call for help. Instead, one picks up the real, unloaded gun and even points it towards his face.
Im touching it, he says, as if taunting. Im pulling it (the trigger). See how many times
.
The other boy then picks up the gun, takes fake aim and pretends to dry-fire the weapon.

Leaving children alone in a room with ANY dangerous weapon is criminally negligent. It figgers that a “child-like” psychobabblist would do that.

The problem is not the guns, it's the kids. They're a bunch of young communists. They have no sense of "mine" and "thine." Any kid who goes rummaging through someone else's belongings, even their parents' belongings, needs a good application of a razor strap on their posterior.

I grew up around firearms. I shot firearms from an early age. I knew and was educated to respect firearms and other people. The old ways were best. Today, there is no education to speak of regarding the use of firearms only a media which prints words (opinions) that firearms are bad and all people are bad. Could not be further from the truth. But today is today and there is a truth called the Second. No wonder the media and politicians teach firearms are bad. They fear an armed population as well they should. Long live Freedom and the Second.

The ABC libtards would not use any stats that showed the vast majority of gun deaths of individuals less than 19 is due to thug bangers and other feral youts who inhabit those great socialist utopias known as urban areas.

Maybe the cowardly SOBs should talk about guns and gun safety instead of being propaganda artists for the left!

SPOT ON!!! And a HUGE majority of those occur in places like Chicago and NYC where they have the most restrictive gun laws!!!
But, hey, it’s just another ABC (Always Being Communists) hit job!
