(CNN)Rambunctious third-graders filled a classroom in Seattle on a crisp autumn day. One of the students dropped his backpack, and horror ensued.

That student had brought a parent's gun to school and was carrying it in his backpack. When the bag fell to the floor, the impact caused the gun to fire, sending a bullet straight into another student's abdomen, said Dr. Thomas Weiser, a trauma surgeon at Stanford University Medical Center.

Weiser treated that third-grader's gunshot wound while completing a fellowship at Harborview Medical Center in Washington in 2011.

When the student arrived at the hospital, awake and alert with a bullet hole oozing blood just below her heart, she had a jarring expression of confusion in her brown eyes, Weiser said.

Sad

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Most of them are black or Hispanic so no one cares.

 

[Vandalshandle]

It is important to remember that these kids gladly gave their lives to protect our Second Amendment rights!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ShootSpeeders]

And cars killed how many kids? 3000? 4000? But libs say hell with that.

 

[Chuz Life]

How many were killed by their parents in abortions?

 

[RodISHI]

Not sure how a gun can pull its own trigger, that just makes no sense to me at all.

 

[AsianTrumpSupporter]

How many of those deaths were in a Chicago?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Most of them are black or Hispanic so no one cares.

In your case we know that's literally true.

 

[AsianTrumpSupporter]

Here are some that were almost added to the total:

'No bail! Take him back!' judge shouts, decrying schoolyard shooting

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It is important to remember that these kids gladly gave their lives to protect our Second Amendment rights!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be curious to see a breakdown of the cause of these gun deaths. I'd be willing to bet we'd fine the majority of them are the result of decades of failed left wing social policy experiments on brown people that have almost completely destroyed our inner city neighborhoods all over the country.

How many are 17 year old gang bangers?

But they're not being killed by Muslims, so it's okay.

Deceptive headline. It should read:

Humans used guns to kill 1300 kids.

A gun alone has never killed a single person.

I have to ask liberals this. If a human makes a choice to use a gun to kill someone, why does one blame the gun?

That 17 year olds end up as "gang bangers" is pretty sad, and a pretty damning indictment of the US, don't you think?

Question is, is a human with a gun more dangerous and more likely to kill children than a person without a gun?

The answer is: no doubt.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Ok, but what does that have to do with the gun? It's the human making the choice. A human with a knife is more likely to kill children than a human without a knife. Should we ban all knives?

A gun is nothing more than a tool. Whether I choose to kill a child with a hammer, screwdriver, gun, knife, ax, etc..is irrelevant. It's all misusing a tool to do harm. What tool you use is irrelevant.

The fact is far more kids die in swimming pools and bathtubs than by guns. So if you REALLY cared about kids, you'd fill all the pools with cement tomorrow.

But you don't give a damn about kids, you want to push a political agenda, you're just so scummy you're willing to use dead kids to do it.

The idea of holding a human responsible for the consequences of his own bad behavior is anathema to LIbErals.

Unless that “bad behavior” consists of legitimately expressing a valid opinion or belief, which those on the left wrong find disagreeable.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

I've heard of such studies defining “children” to include violent gang members up to 24 years old, in order to pad the numbers.
