Guns kill nearly 1,300 US children each year - CNN

You have been shown that that article is a lie.....over and over again and you still use it...you are a troll.....15 year old gang members shooting 15 year old gang members are not children, and 19-20 year olds are not children.......

Now the truth...these are the facts from the CDC...so tell us how with gun murder and accidental gun death in 2016 equaling a total child death by gun number of ...312...how your link gets to 1,300 you moron?

Girl, 13, in hospital after 'bullet pierced her thigh'

A 13-year-old girl is in hospital after a bullet pierced her thigh during a terrifying driveby shooting in Sydney's west.

The girl was sitting with a group of friends inside an opened garage in Constance St, Guildford, at 9.45pm yesterday when a gunman opened fired in their direction.

Witnesses have told 9NEWS that about five shots were fired and piercing screams were heard from the group of young girls as the 13-year-old was shot in the leg.

Well, she only got shot in the leg and she was 13 years old.

Could have been worse, she could have been shot dead at the age of two by her mother.

Now, that's USA style, woop woop.

You mean like this Australian mother....?

Mother who killed 3yo 'because he looked like his father' jailed for 33 years

A mother who killed her three-year-old son "because he looked like his father" has been sentenced to at least 33 years in jail, while her partner has been given a prison sentence of at least 30 years.

Key points:

• Justice Peter Johnson said the dead boy had been worn down by "torture"
• The case traumatised police officers, who later quit the force
• Outside court, a family member said the dead boy's mother had shown "no remorse"

The 43-year-old woman and 48-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were found guilty of murder in the New South Wales Supreme Court in April.

The toddler, known as Joseph, died from extensive and horrific injuries to his head and body after months of violent abuse in the town of Oberon in New South Wales' central west.

Shit happens that you can't control. However the accidental killing of a 2 year old is something that can be controlled. That's the difference.

So you want to ban cars and pools, the things that kill far more children of all ages than gun do..right?

GThe n control measures are not a panacea. No law is. Murder is against the law, and yet, show us where murder was eliminated. Money laundering is against the law, and yet, if you were a real estate developer in Manhattan during the 80s and 90s...

Are there comparable per capita numbers between Australia and the United States? Have the Australian laws impacted gun violence there?

Gun violence in Australia has been going up....as they have brought in more immigrants.....they are the ones running the drug gangs.

Isn't the whole country of Australia suppose to be a "gun free zone", or something?

It's not that but once the suckers start applying silly regulations they only get worse.

One girl in Australia is shot and lives, and you see that as a failure of gun control.

On a daily basis, approximately 30 people are shot to death every day, including 3 children, and another 60 are injured in the US. This figure excludes suicides which add another 60+ people to the carnage. And you see this as a win for unfettered access to guns.

No wonder the US is in such a mess. It’s being run by right wingers who are incapable of applying critical thinking skills.

Na, socialism breeds violence

That is actually no different than our big city shitholes where most of the crime in this country takes place. The sanctuary shitholes run by Liberals with strict gun control laws.

So we must further amend our notions by peppering their migrants with suspicion and fear?

The funny thing is it makes the news in Australia. It'd pass unnoticed in the US with its high rates of juvenile shootings because of its easy access to handguns and military style semi-automatic rifles.

Luckily the OP doesn't examine shootings in the US. He'd go batshit crazy in a week if he did that.

I mean, of course, more batshit crazy.

Jamaica's got strict gun control, and far higher murder rates than the U.S.A.

Interestingly Jamaica's murder rate climbed significantly after implementing gun control.

It seems your theory doesn't hold water.

Jamaica's got strict gun control,

Yeah? What is it?

Australia actually has high rates of guns, it's rated near the 20th in gun ownership rates, out of 175 listed.

My theory about the high rate of juvenile shootings in the US compared to the rate of juvenile shootings in Australia?

LOL, as if Australia, and the U.S.A are the only countries.

Why not check out a global map of gun ownership, and a global map of homicide.

Obviously there is no real correlation between the 2, in fact if anything there seems to be a negative correlation here (Of what you think)

As usual, when discussing the US, apologists use third world countries as comparisons. If that's where you want to put the bar, who am I to complain?

About 70% of murder in the U.S.A is committed by Blacks / Hispanics.

The U.S.A White murder rate is about half the total rate.

It's just like Canada has Nunavut filled with Native Americans, causing it to have a massive murder rate.
