I can do this all day long but I think you get the point, at least I hope you do. Guns are the number one killer of children in America.
It's not the guns it's the people. Responsibility is key. But you can't test someone on responsibility. Also I say that we offer an "intelligence test" if you are too stupid to put sentences together then you shouldn't be able to purchase a gun. If you pass that test then they should have a "sanity test" see how sane you are. Just to make sure you don't go postal.
Why don't you just go to D.C. and rip up the United States Constitution?
People are the killers of children in America, not guns. Irresponsibility is the killer of children in America, not guns.
If we rip up the Constitution and get rid of guns, people who want to kill others will find another weapon. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Hi Mental Mike, or whatever your name du jour is today.
Why don't you include all the death's from:
-drunk driving
-illegible prescriptions
-And the number one killer of children in this country is Poorly Run Liberal Cities.
Most gun violence in this country is committed by criminals with illegally obtained firearms.
So, you actually believe that if guns are outlawed and all the honest people turn their guns that all gun crime will end?
People find all kinds of ways to kill each other, that's just a sad fact of human nature. But a good start is to teach children about responsibility. Who knows, maybe as adults they will act accordingly and not leave a gun around for a kid to get to.
a tyrannical, fully-militarized police-state. think about this: patriot act, homeland security, TSA, wire-tapping, electronic warfare, the drug war, warrantless searches, ect.
Held:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
a miracle.
the constitution was built with the guarantee that you can own a weapon. Although the founding fathers did not have murder in mind, without the right to own guns, we subject ourselves completely to our government. If they ever get too oppressive, we would have no way to revolt.
The right to bear arms is just that...the right to bear arms. Not for hunting purposes, not to kill randomly, etc. Yes, idiots do stupid things. But disarming America is to your detriment as well. The right is to protect ourselves against Tyranny. Therefore, while your argument holds merit...it is not a justification to disarm the rest of us.
Over 10 pages of links to websites about news shooting in Detroit
We need to handle the people that are careless about them, not the ones that use them to protect themselves
AS soon as you do away with all Knives, Swords, Razor Blades etc...
And All Cars since people die from Car Accidents, and Planes Since People Die in Plane Crashes, and Water because people Drown in Water ~ then I'll think about giving up my gun.
can you also please cite sources where guns have saved lives seeing as how that is more common and taking away guns is how fascist governments always start its what hitler and stalin did so are you saying you want to do what hitler did
Tell that to Texans who now have to worry about the Mexican drug war spilling into their state. I have friends who are armed and ready though.
It's the ADULTS who should be hiding the guns. We have a gun safe.
Typical liberal, blames the gun for killing, when actually it was the bullet.
Guns are not the number one killer of children in America,,,, Automobiles are.
Changing the constitution? I sincerely hope not! How about good parenting? It is faulty parenting causing these incidents - not the legality of guns. Guns are as American as apple pie and Patton. They are not going away! (Thank GOD!)
It will never happen. It is ingrained in our culture and what is needed is education in how to keep guns out of reach of those who should not have access to them. Peace
Tragic stories, all. But people die all the time from alcohol, cigarettes and other things that we haven't outlawed. Gun control is fine. But outlawing all guns would backfire.
Well you will get no support from this Liberal. Education and responsible ownership should slow these deaths. I am more worried about our food ingredients which account for more deaths then gun deaths.
You can get rid of all guns, but that won't get rid of any killers.
What about knives? Children get killed and injured with knives also.
And Automobiles, more children die in automobile accidents than are kill by gunfire in the USA.
None of this has anything to do with guns, check out the trigger.
Guns have no more to do with murder than pencils do with bad spelling.
A change to the Constitution also people who like to hunt, most crimes with guns are hand guns and unstable people if they did not have a gun would use a knife or some other weapon even home made.
8 stories some of them the same amongst 330 Miliion people? How many children died in auto accidents last year?
Edit:Start taking guns and I bet those numbers go way up.
What is it going to take to get all the irresponsible parents who can't keep an eye on their kids or control their households out of America?
That will never happen.
Adults that cannot keep their firearms out of the hands of children should be prosecuted.
Everyone should be required to own a gun for self defense.
"Guns are the number one killer of children in America."
No its not.
So your suggesting that we should give up our guns cause 5% of the people in America that legally own guns have problems, Thats not smart
i'm pretty sure murderers are the number 1 killer of children in america.
my guns sit in a vault all day. how could they hurt anyone?
Start thinking of the Constitution like toilet paper...
As if that isn't going on enough!
Ask the British what they think about giving them up..
Your examples are a bit lame in that cars kill millions, so we stop driving?
They can say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" all they want, but your links give lie to that literal-minded cliche. Does anyone here really believe a child under 11 would have killed anyone without the facilitator of a gun? No way. No way.
Thanks for posting the educational material.
