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

[Blues Man]

That's just wrong. firearms cause less than 1% of accidental deaths for children from the ages of 0-24. Even less for younger children.

Firearms do not cause any deaths

People cause deaths

 

[Blues Man]

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

Guns exhibit no behaviors

PEOPLE and only PEOPLE are the cause of all the ills you blame guns for.

 

[Blues Man]

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

The truth is people kill people
People have always killed people
People will always kill people

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.

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.

It's like this When you have bed wetting liberals throwing the NRA out of the schools as in Crazyfornia just where does a child learn gun safety. Let's try to use some common sense. for once in your life. I don't know how many times I have had some liberal with his head so far up his ass shit is the smell of life try talking down to me for letting their brat shoot a BB gun in my back yard with my kids. Try to keep up. To see just how totally useless many Americans are one needs look at our president. We have over 400 million firearms in America. anyone not training a child firearm safety needs child protective service called on them and the child removed from the home. We don't have 400 million cars in this country but you taught your brat to cross the street didn't you? Again it's called common sense. If you are one who doesn't have any then you should have it slapped or beat into you. Start with a few responable adults and we could go from there OR JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE NOTHING BUT BITCH.

No guns, no death from guns.

ya left out the part where "nobody wants your guns"

How much intellect do you need to understand that?

geez, about the same amount as it would take to understand that "no food" means no one will die of food poisoning.

 

[multivita-man]

Too bad their parents were such pussies they didn't teach their kids about gun safety.

I actually don't disagree with this comment. You're a hundred percent right: parents should teach their kids about gun safety.

Doesn't change the fact that guns are just way too easy to get and too frequently fall into the hands of the wrong people.

No guns, no death from guns.

How much intellect do you need to understand that?

To combat obesity and early death in our children we need to ban forks and spoons.

No forks and spoons, no obesity.

How much intellect do you need to understand that?
