Children and teens are more likely to die by guns than anything else

[westwall]

You are insane. I heard here and it's true.

The Jews didn't have guns, so were defenseless when the dictatorship, that you are pushing for, came knocking.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I don't make excuses for immoral gun behavior or gloss it over and I don't except the senseless killing.

Except you do, by your own actions.

 

[okfine]

Neither do we.....but the democrat party keeps attacking the police to the point they can't do their jobs, and they keep releasing the most violent criminals over and over again.....

We want to stop the senseless killing, but morons like you keep voting for democrats.

Fuck you.

Except you do, by your own actions.

And what actions are you talking about?

 

[2aguy]

Fuck you.

And what actions are you talking about?

Again...when a democrat is faced with the truth, facts and reality........you get "Fuck you."

Then, they move on to violence and mass murder.....

The truth is dead people are dead. Are you having a hard time distinguishing that fact?

 

[2aguy]

The truth is dead people are dead. Are you having a hard time distinguishing that fact?

And the corollary .....

Living people are living people.

 

[okfine]

And the corollary .....

Living people are living people.

Aren't you special.

GOP Platform: Guns over Children.

I could make the point that your platform is speed over children. You accept the deaths of thousands every year just so you can drive fast. See how that works?

 

[westwall]

Aren't you special.

No, but you are special ed.

Then do something about it. Get rid of DA's and judges who RELEASE violent criminals back out in to society to prey on the weak.

We have more people in prison than any other country in the world.

 

[westwall]

We have more people in prison than any other country in the world.

Yeah, most are non violent drug users. Release them and only incarcerate the violent ones.

Duh.

 

[2aguy]

We have more people in prison than any other country in the world.

We have more people who break our laws than they do to......otherwise they wouldn't be in prison.

 

[2aguy]

Duh.

Actually, if you look at the data, the "non-violent drug users" charade isn't true........the ones in prison are the ones really trying hard to be there and they are the violent traffickers, not simple goat herders caught with a bag of weed....

Of the approximately 145,000 people in federal prisons and 1,040,000 people in state prisons, less than 3.5 percent are incarcerated for a conviction related to drug possession. Even when one expands the scope beyond mere possession to all other types of drug offenses (many of which are associated with violent cartels and gangs), the proportion rises only to 18 percent.

The hard truth for criminal-justice reformers is that violent offenses are far more prevalent among America’s prisoners.

At the state level—where nine in ten prisoners are incarcerated—almost 60 percent of inmates committed violent crimes.

Roughly 143,000 people are imprisoned for convictions related to sexual assault and 155,000 for homicide, compared with 146,000 for all drug crimes combined. The idea that America’s “mass” incarceration is a result of drug crimes is absurd.
-----
America’s incarceration “problem” relates directly to its violent-crime problem. The nation’s incarceration rate—roughly 639 per 100,000 people—is four to six times that of its high-income peers in Europe and Asia. Without context, that statistic is alarming, but when we consider that America’s homicide rate is 7.5 times higher than those same peer nations, our incarceration rate seems more justified.

The Myth of the Nonviolent Drug Offender

After President Biden pardoned Americans convicted of federal marijuana possession last week, reform advocates praised his action as a “historic” step away from mass incarceration, while critics lamented it as another blow to public safety. The truth is somewhat less momentous: the pardons...

No, there are still a significant number of non violent offenders.

Children and teens are more likely to die by guns than anything else | CNN

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020.

www.cnn.com

Wow. Sounds serious.
Catastrophic, even.

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020.

THE leading cause!!!

According to the CDC, 2020-2021:
2020-2021
Ages 0-18
69,742 total deaths
4871 firearms - all intents: 6.9% of the total
4685 motor vehicle - all intents. 6.7% of the total

https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D158;jsessionid=2552C38CBCA10E72B2AC428754A9

And so, while firearms - all intents "took over" for motor vehicle deaths, at 6.9% of the total, it is still a small portion of total deaths.
Put otherwise:
93.1% of children who died 2020-2021 did NOT die from a firearm-related injury.

That's --not-- the impression you get from the story - eh?

Why would CNN, et al, present this in such a misleading way?

I know:
Because the (D)ishonest know they can prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.

They left out abortion, whereby more than a million children die every year. Many more than all the other causes combined.

 

[JGalt]

They left out abortion, whereby more than a million children die every year. Many more than all the other causes combined.

That right there. I doubt if 63,459,781 million children died from firearms in the US over the last 50 years, since Roe vs. Wade made baby-killing our national pastime. That would be a Hitler, Mao, or Stalin level of genocide, and would equate to 1,269,195 children killed by firearms every year since 1973.

I'm just amazed that abortion-supporters can't do the math.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Still the parent's fault. If a child is raised in a decent home with decent parents, why would he or she kill themselves? A Harvard study found that home-schooled children showed higher levels of forgiveness along with more of a connection to religious institutions, which leads to lower rates of depression and suicide.

To me, all of the blame can't be dumped on the parents when the kids spend so much time amongst whoever is in school with them. In other words, at the end of the day, perhaps it does take a village and if it does, any good parents who are still out there are going to end up being the losers because it's only going to be them verses the rest of the planet.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. The three Nashville families who are mourning the loss of those kids, are their moms and dads to blame that those kids are not here anymore? No.

Guns turn pussies into he-men. Any idiot can squeeze a trigger.

Guns don't do anything. They are inanimate objects.

 

[Blues Man]

No guns, no death from guns.

How much intellect do you need to understand that?

Why is it you people think dying because some piece of shit murdering motherfucker shoots you is somehow worse than dying by the hand of a piece of shit murdering motherfucker with a knife or a car or a baseball bat etc?
