20 children hospitalized each day with gun injuries

[rightwinger]

Meanwhile --- MILLIONS of babies/unborn are aborted daily --- to a Libberhoid... this is acceptable.

Pass a law against it

 

[Mudflap]

One kid a year is too many, but why is that the fault of someone who happens to own a firearm or two?

1965: Physicians for Automotive Safety formed, pickets NY Auto Show, protests lack of
occupant protection.

1971: Physicians for Automotive Safety publishes first pamphlet on child passenger protection,
"Don't Risk Your Child's Life" (updated frequently to present).

1968: First child restraints designed for crash protection developed by Ford (Tot-Guard) and
General Motors (Love Seat for toddlers). Followed soon thereafter by the GM Infant
Love Seat (first rear-facing only restraint) and the Bobby Mac convertible seat (used
both rear-facing and forward facing).

1971: Action for Child Transportation Safety founded for parent-citizen advocates to promote
child passenger safety (CPS) education and stricter standards for children's car seats
(also called "safety seats" or, most correctly, "child restraint systems" or CRS). (Closed
1982)

1971: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) adopts first federal standard
for child seating systems, FMVSS 213; requirements do not include dynamic (crash)
tests, but did require use of a safety belt to hold the car seat into the vehicle, and a
harness to hold the child in the car seat. Did not cover rear-facing infant restraints or car
beds.

1972: Consumer Reports publishes article showing that most car seats that passed FMVSS 213
could not withstand crash tests.

1970s: Several established child safety seat manufacturers develop products that passed an
informally agreed upon crash-test procedure at 30 mph. Product mix on the market
makes shopping for a protective child restraint confusing. Very few parents actually use
restraints for their children.

1977: First standard for school buses becomes effective; includes body strength, roll-over
protection, seat spacing, padded flexible seatbacks, and higher backs (passenger
"compartmentalization"), but not seat belts.

1978: Physicians for Automotive Safety produces first parent education film about child
passenger safety, "Don't Risk Your Child's Life". (Updated six times to 2004.)

Hey warrior. can you read and comprehend what you don't want to believe?

and none of those impact my consitutional rights. Banning firearms would.

Who said ban?

 

[Defiant1]

And you know the gun nutters argument is weak and shaky when all they can do is bring up cars and shopping carts and any fucking thing else they can come up with.

Anything to deflect from the problem. Anything. As long as they are not forced to recognize their complicity in the killing of kids.

Its the simple fact that those things are much more likely to kill you than a firearm.

and the only complicity here is in the failed progressive policies that lead to the inncer city crime that causes these "kids" to be shot.

No the simple fact is that you want to deflect as much as possible. The topic was kids and guns. Not kids and cars or kids in shopping carts.

Start a thread for those topics. Maybe the idiot Repubs in Congress can ban shopping carts.
They aren't protected in the COTUS are they?

Ok, let's keep the topic on kids.

Please state a solution that would prevent children from being injured by guns.

 

[Howey]

The 18-20 year olds that are doing the shooting have no desire to get the gun leagally, or own in legally. Most of them have no disrespect for the law anyway.

Hey warrior. can you read and comprehend what you don't want to believe?

“Motor vehicle crashes
are the leading cause of
death for children from 2
to 14 years old.”

Can you read, shitstain?

The leftists played the "think of the children" card. We're supposed to sob and ignore logic and reality and give in now. You know, like they do if we point out we don't want children to live in socialism. Didn't you get the memo?

Thats the end game of all of this, to prevent law abiding people from owning firearms.

Don't act so coy about it.

The study linked included teenage gang members as "kids." You don't need a soruce to know these thugs will get thier guns regardless of the laws in place.

Oh, the irony how you refer to yourself as "Brain."

 

[OKTexas]

Which begs the question...

What's going to happen to the so-called responsible gun owners who owned the weapons?

Didn't bother to read the link did ya? The vast majority of those "children" were 15-20 year old thugs who are shooting each other, I don't think they have ever been considered responsible gun owners.

Of course I read the link. It didn't say anything about where the guns came from, did it?

I also found this statement of the pediatrician's:

“All are unnecessary hospitalizations because preventing gun violence is something that can actually be done.”

Here's more from him:

The high number of accidental injuries, especially in the youngest children, underscores the need for parents to keep guns locked in a safe place that is separate from where ammunition is stowed and secured, Leventhal said.

One change that could make a big difference, Webster said, is to make it illegal for anyone under 21 to own a handgun. “In order to drink beer legally you have to be 21,” he said. “While you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun from a dealer, if you’re an 18-year-old you can go to a private seller and legally purchase a handgun in 45 out of 50 states.”

If you look at homicide as a function of age, you’ll see that there is a peak between 18 and 20, Webster said. “So for this very high risk group of 18- to 20-year olds, we think it’s too dangerous to drink beer, but in 45 states they can legally possess as many handguns as they like.

“We have weak laws, and for that we pay a dear cost.”

Did you bother to read that 90% were males and of those black males were 10 times more likely to be injured than white males. Kind of shits all over your theory of guns left laying around your typical redneck household. In two separate studies conducted for the CDC gun law were shown to have little to no effect on gun violence. But hey, stay on the crusade, gives you something to keep your mind occupied.

There's laws against killing people with guns, stupid. How's that working out?
Dear God - you're a fucking moron - deluxe!

Why does that pole-smoker in your avatar have his mouth open, in the "receive" position?

Ouch! Check and mate. If Democrats were really sincere in being so upset about this, then you're right, they would not turn around and say that a mother's inconvenience is worth ending the life of a child.

But of course this thread is a lie like everything else they say. They are just using children to get an emotional tug to get their way. Children are like women, blacks, gays, handicapped and any other demographic, a group to be exploited for political gain. And what's sadder is how those groups when they join the collectivist left willingly exploit themselves.

The Democrats are Jonestown, just an a far greater scale.
