Three kids killed by shooter at Christian school

Just now near Daytona.

 

The numbers from the CDC database I quoted are for all deaths by firearms in children (includes adolescents). It is possible to query the database for more granularity. Regardless of how granular, the trend is very clear and going in the wrong direction, quickly.

 

Driving a car to work also poses a greater risk than Americans with guns.

 

You understand none of those points are lost on me, right? My whole point is it’s still more viable than a gun control bill, because a gun control bill won’t stop mass shootings. People act like we can pass gun legislation (wasn’t Biden recently bragging about his gun legislation??) and it’s a magic wand that will bring an end to the terror at schools. It won’t. If you’re going for total confiscation, then my plan is definitely the more viable, because the citizens are never going to allow for it.

 

For those wanting to "solve" this with total lock downs of schools, where does it end? Grocery stores? Movie theaters? Public parks? Churches? How do you lock down a college campus?

 

thorough background checks and training requirements, the same way many EU countries, Canada, etc do it.

 

I know it does.

 

Schools would be the priority above all else, because of the children.

 

But more guns will make us more free

 

Agreed but that is a non answer.

 

Ok. So you prioritize schools to mitigate school shootings. Do busses need police escorts?

 

Based on the detail shops around the area I was rehabbing houses……

 

Not any more, death by firearm has exceeded auto fatalities.

 

Swing and a miss! Most people need a vehicle (commercial or otherwise) to live. Almost no one needs a gun.

edit to add I bet the ratio of miles driven to auto deaths is a microscopic % vs deaths per guns owned.

edit I’m such a sooper jenius if I figure 400M vehicles (sounds low) times 20K miles a year (WAG) skewed by trucks probably way low. My Apple I phone calc spew out 8e12 which my tired brain computes as 8T. Divide by auto death. Next take 350M guns (maybe multiply by 7 rounds cause nutters are about as accurate as Russian soldiers) divided by gun deaths and presto Bob’s your uncle…

 

Okay I’ll bite. What gun laws aren’t being used?

 

Rick - you posted a faked photo to promote your anti-trans agenda. You got called on it. Just own it. A little contrition is not too much to ask.

 

Not sure what point you are trying to make considering that around 90 percent of Americans either drive cars, ride in cars as passengers or as pedestrians cross streets used by cars on a daily basis.

 

Not Tennessee tho. No red flag laws there to my knowledge.

 

That is only true when you exclude children below age one and include 19 year old adults, and include suicides. It was only true during the Covid lockdown year when many of the most vulnerable children were essentially abandoned with no schooling and suicides and gang activity were up. It is literally the definition of cherry-picking data to get an outcome you want.
