[BigBobber]

Let us reason together. Whoever imagined that we could defeat smallpox, malaria or polio? These diseases that were once considered the scourge of humanity are negligible in comparison to the rampant violence and killing of our population with weapons that none should possess. It is time that we take firm steps to eradicate this epidemic, and it most certainly can be done.

Here is some of the kid's brilliant writing.

"Whoever imagined..."

"...weapons that none should possess..."

"It is time that we take firm steps to eradicate this epidemic, and it most certainly can be done."

The saddest part of this paragraph is that malaria has not been eradicated. Millions still die from it because DDT was banned by libs.

These diseases that were once considered the scourge of humanity are negligible in comparison

It is estimated that somewhere in the vicinity of 100M people died in the Americas from these "neglible diseases" during the course of the 17th century. Not to mention the many millions that have died before and since elsewhere.

Compare this to the roughly 12,000 murdered using firearms each year in the USA.

This is about 1/3 of those who die in traffic accidents each year in this country.
