***“One in five deaths in young people ages 15 to 29 are from firearms — a stunning number,†said Fleegler, as Medscape reports. “If these were deaths due to cancer, we would find this outrageous.â€***
Ok. I stopped right there. First of all, this was recommended by Pediatricians. What pediatricians do you know seeing pts over18? As a nurse I can tell you none, so, most of that age group doesn’t even pertain to them. Second, 1/5? Maybe in black neighborhoods! For most of that age group the #1 cause of death is car accidents. He’s says we would be outraged if that many kids were dying from cancer, where’s the outrage towards automobile manufacturers?
Young parents, don’t you dare answer this question except to say none of your business and then find another pediatrician.
let’s assume there are 150 million 15-29 year olds In the US- 1 in 5 would mean
That means 30 million people are dying from guns per year?
