Zone1 The Problem Is Guns, And Easy Access To Guns

Firearms are now the number one cause of death for children in the United States, but rank no higher than fifth in 11 other large and wealthy countries, a new KFF analysis finds.

Guns – including accidental deaths, suicides, and homicides – killed 4,357 children (ages 1-19 years old) in the United States in 2020, or roughly 5.6 per 100,000 children. The U.S. is the only country among its peers that has seen a substantial increase in the rate of child firearm deaths in the last two decades (42%).





The problem is guns, and the easy access to guns
The primary cause of gun violence is our insane, toxic LIBERAL culture

And its just that simple
 
Everyone knows this. We're just not adult enough to admit it and address it.
Yet, in living memory, we could order guns from a catalog and have them shipped to our houses. Children were given guns as presents, and were able to take courses in school that involved shooting guns. No one shot up a school or shopping mall. Since guns have only gotten more difficult to obtain, what really changed?

LOL! Most of those "children" are under 18 druggies, gang bangers and street thugs. They shoot themselves.

The problem is not gun available but criminal ghetto mentality.
 
More people die of medical malpractice in American than by gunshots. Are we going to ban doctors?

For many years ... automobile deaths outpaced gun death. These days ... they're not far from even. Do we ban cars?

When it comes to the leading causes of death in the USA ... guns don't even make the top 10 list and yet the anti-gun activists push it front and center as if it IS the leading cause of death.

Guns are much easier to attain today than 20 years ago

LOL!!! My dad bought a gun at Montgomery Ward with ZERO background check. Now, if you're speaking of the inner-city gang, black market ... then you may be correct. But if you are a law-abiding, tax-paying, crime-free citizen of the USA ... buying a gun is much harder than it used to be.

You used to be able to order one out of the Sears catalog, also with no background check.

Are they? And even if they are, the vast majority of gun crimes are committed in big cities, by the gang and the sub-urban culture who illegally obtain them.
You can keep responding with your one liners, which doesn't help you, but rather proves your own inability to reason with logic, data, and stats and come to a conclusion.

Rather, you're presented with facts and deny the fact for your own personal belief and counter with illogical, dishonest strawmen, conjecture, and hyperbole.

You dont know what you are talkimg about....you disnt need a fedearl background check, you could buy them just about anywhwr...

why do you guys always have to be dishonest?
 
Last year London had the same murder rate as New York. If they don't have guns they will use knifes. If not knifes they will use rocks. That is what man does.

A few years ago the Brady Center to Stop Gun Violance put out a statement saying gun deaths among children was skyrocketing. I know knew that was bull shit so I started cheaking. The center desided to change the age one becomes an adult, 18 and change it to 26. Now that number would include most all gang and drug related shootings. How they could say skyrocketing when the number was down shows what these people will do to pass their agenda. With Dirty Joes hate of guns, at least for all but his own why does he want to ban so called Assault Rifles when they kill less people a year than hands and feet? Hand Guns kill over 6,000. The main reason for the Second Amendment was to protect us against an out of control government. We have over 2,000 government agencies for a federal government with only 35 tasks to preform according to the Constitution, 35 tasks they preform badly or not at all. Thanks to obama they are all armed, if you need a laugh that is not funny look at the government employees now armed on your dime.

When there is a federal holiday there is no traffic. That's a lot of government employees we are paying to take days off. The only thing we get back from big government is a day or two a month avoiding rush hour traffic. Unless you count all the times government agencies saved you and your love ones both time and money.
 
You have no factual or rational basis for your statement.
Sure I do. People have more money, there are more places to buy guns, more resistance to complying with common sense gun laws, and now you have a hyper aggressive group quite insistent on having no gun laws at all with political muscle to offer other but thoughts and prayers whenever there is a mass shooting.
