These people will do anything, say anything to enslave us. After all, it's "for the children."
Damn! Guns are designed for killing.
My solution to the "children killing children" problem is to remove all their fingers at birth. Oh! they already do that for many, it's called abortion. Hmmm, that must be "adults killing children."

We check Teddy bears for safety; why not guns? No federal agency has the authority to ensure that guns manufactured and sold to consumers are safe.That's because there is no amendment in the constitution for teddy bears.
However, I would support one: A well fed, changed toddler being necessary to the happiness of mommy and daddy, the right of little Jimmy to keep and bear his teddy bear "Boo", shall not be infringed.

There also is no way to prevent the introduction of firearms into the civilian market that pose a serious threat to public safety, such as .50 cal. sniper rifles. Umm, Chris, just HOW have .50 caliber rifles been a "serious threat to public safety"? C'mon baby, let's see the numbers.
The guy's a twit.

Remove the "gang element" from the 15 to 19 year old age bracket and the stats will drop veeerrrrryyy significantly. Many more innocent children are killed each year riding bicycles, skateboards and playing sports than are killed by firearms. BAN ALL FOOTBALLS!!!!

Even more disturbing, firearms are the second leading cause of death overall for children ages 15 to 19 19 year old "children"? Just out of curiosity, what was the minimum service age for WWII and Vietnam?

I wouldn't call him a twit. That would be giving too much credit. He is just another unenlightened liberal that would not see the truth if it hit him in the face.

What are the consequences of an unregulated industry? In 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 28,000 Americans died by firearms, giving guns the infamous distinction as the second leading cause of product-related death behind motor vehicles. They forgot alcohol. Isn't that a product? What about the scurge of TOBACCO??????? I thought that it killed MILLIONS, even BILLIONS every year? PS - you forgot the BARF alert.

?i?children aged 19?/i??p? Children aged 19? Does this include the 19 year child who wears a ranger tab in Afghanistan? Chris, you need to take a deep breath bubba. A 19 or 18 year old is not a child, and cannot be lumped in with the results of your skewed numbers. Get a grip.

We check Teddy bears for safety; why not guns? Apparently they haven't heard that we have the right to keep and arm bears.

Guns ARE tested for safety. Hello! Geez, what a nut.

What about the scurge of TOBACCO??????? I thought that it killed MILLIONS, even BILLIONS every year? I thought the latest "Truth" ad had it up to 18 quadrillion.

What are the consequences of an unregulated industry? Unregulated? HAR! It is one of the most highly regulated industries.

At least. And that was only last week.

There are more holes in this than Swiss Cheese...what is this jokers education?The finest education that liberal academia has to offer. He's a shining example of the unthinking drones being churned out by our institutions of "higher learning."
To: irishtenor
I wonder how many of those "child deaths" were caused by legally obtained guns versus illegally obtained guns.
No matter what regulations/restrictions are placed on legal gun ownership it won't change the plethera of illegal guns.
I guess it's only right that criminals be allowed to carry guns while law abiding tax paying citizens can't. After all they have rights.

While our children are dying and suffering traumatic injuries, we continue to allow the gun industry to design and manufacture increasingly lethal products.As if Iwould want a less lethal firearm.
