Because all too frequently, they have been used to put bad holes in children. Get rid of these friggin' stupid killing toys. Let the military play with them.
AR 15 type mass shootings are rare. Less than 1 percent of children’s gun deaths. Far more sue from inner city 9mm type shootings.. “In general mass shootings account for less than 1% of all firearms deaths in the United States, that’s for all ages,” Dr. Los Lee, an associate professor of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School says. “When you look at it for children, it’s also less than 1%. So they account for a very small number.” Over Memorial Day Weekend, 14 people were killed in shootings in Philadelphia. Among the victims killed were Jamel Parks, a 9-year-old and his father, Gerald Parks. They were sitting in a car not far from their home. A 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were both wounded. In Baltimore over the same weekend, three teens were shot, one fatally, in separate incidents. “Inner-city shootings, which are also very tragic to the victims and the families in the community, occur more frequently and people can become desensitized to it,” Lee says. “Because of the kinds of communities that are primarily impacted, the public and policymakers are less invested in thinking about gun violence prevention interventions in those areas.”
Well my wife had her gun “out in public” as she was driving around with it in her purse on a public road. Without it “out in public” she gets at the minimum carjacked.
