5 year old gets gun for birthday and .....

Interestingly enough, you only hear about the isolated accidents involving young kids and firearms

You never hear about the thousands of others that are doing the right thing

Screw media bias and you gun control muppets

 

Its about internet traffic and sales duh. Just like you ONLY hear about broke black athletes God forbid they do a piece on dudes who are incredibly smart with their money like Magic Johnson, Jamal Mashburn, and David Robinson

 

Enough is enough

I'm going to make some threads about youth hunting and sport shooting

See how many hits it gets

 

LOL. I wonder who started the thread and what they stated.....some people are taking tips from fox and the conservative talk shows. LOL

=======================================================

just because its not highly televised doesnt mean its not happening

 

Where's the other side of the statistics that show you how many kids there are that aren't having incidents happening

Do you know how many kids there are/kids around firearms

Thats shady reporting

 

LOL. yeah in the mean time...
a porn star says "yeah, why dont you report all the men I didnt fuck in the last 5 years"

All in one week.

 

In a country of 300 million guns.

The most deadly weapon a child ever encounters....is an ADULT'S hand.

Spare the tragic, but rare stats.

 

"Rare stats." How rare is it if you can find stories about half a dozen similar incidents that took place in the past few days in the first couple of hits of a Google search?

 

With 300 million guns in circulation, that's why.

Do you know there's quite a few kid's who probably saved their lives from using guns on intruders. It's about the same as your stats.

 

The chances of a kid being killed or injured by a firearm in this country alone are very slim

They're more likely to get hurt playing sports or die in a car crash

 

But but but its all about the kids, we have to save the kids.

These people are so utterly full of shit. They make gun violence out to be the single greatest threat to the well being of American citizens. Their paranoia is entertaining as hell.

 

lmao

a kid is more likely to die as a passenger driven in a car by one of these crazy, anti-gun paranoid sumbitches

 

These motherfuckas act like we live in Iraq. The stats are so damn skewed and poverty in a nutshell are taking these innocent lives not guns but this country loves treating symptoms instead of curing the disease.

 

Muthafuckas on here keeping their powder dry and their guns oiled ready to fight the 2nd American Revolution.:toimonster:

What the fuck is a 'statistically significant' amount of gun deaths among children?? At what point is it a problem??

The fact is when a child is killed by a gun, it's usually a weapon own by an adult who lives in the home. Not someone breaking into their house.:smt067

 

more children are killed in car accidents by a parent driving the car. Should children never be allowed in cars?

 

kids banned from cars unless they HAVE to be in them

duhhhhhhhhhhhh

while ur at it..fuck...cut out sports too

 

What constitutes as HAVE to?
To school and back and medical emergencies?

 

Seriously....over 50% of this country votes Republican, and is mentally crippled.

 

Cosign.

If there needs to be explanation for the difference between a 9mm and a motor vehicle, one whose sole purpose is to kill, I don't think there's anything gained by continuing this convo.
