Republican women snapping up guns

Fair enough. And it is good to hear on the gun safety. Unfortunately, that level of gun safety isn’t the norm for many gun buyers these days. No one here is denying the constitutional right to own a gun and many of us are gun owners. However, we can discuss the dangers associated with firearms, especially when considering stats like below. We discuss ideas, spend money, pass laws to make the other items on this list safer.

Yes, I should have said homicides not shootings.

 

Why do they have 18 and 19 year olds in that chart? I am betting if you take them out firearm deaths drop way down in that chart. They have them in there to run the score up. They are not accidental shootings most times at that ager either.

 

For me the bigger take away is guns are the leading cause, either accidental or intentional.

 

Thats fair, but they are not the leading cause of children's accidental deaths like many of these charts try and make people believe.

The solution to rape is to cut off every man's unit
