Firearms are the Leading Cause of Death for Children

[ma96782]

ages 1-19 years old = "Children"

FAIL

NOW....do we also get to talk about the "other things?"

How is doing an image search of mass shooters a slap in the face to the media?

Do your own search, come to your own conclusion.

18 and 19 year olds aren't children. Your "study" needs to end at 17

When I was 19 I did not worry about much figured the worse they could do to me was to take my birthday away that's about all I had other than the clothes on my back.

Lol. We sent "children" aged 18 years old to 21 year old to Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria, Kuwait, Somalia, Pacific campaigns and European Theater of Operations... and I wonder what % of police officers are 18-21 year old, fresh out of High School?

Edit. of course firearms deaths would be disproportionately high for young adults from 18-25 because that's the majority of the Armed Forces, Federal Agents, police officers... and then there's the criminal gangsters doing criminal acts believe 14-15 year old teens have also been tried as adults for many major crimes, often including firearms

I think the boys of an earlier era were tougher than the snowflakes parents are putting out now. Maybe I should support abortion

How about "college parties are the leading causes of alcoholism and STDs of children aged 0-21"?

Did you know that 100% of mass murderers were born from a woman? Maybe we should ban women.

Firearms are now the number one cause of death for children in the United States, but rank no higher than fifth in 11 other large and wealthy countries.

Guns – including accidental deaths, suicides, and homicides – killed 4,357 children (ages 1-19 years old) in the United States in 2020, or roughly 5.6 per 100,000 children.


What do you think the up tic if from? I think it's Mostly suicides and just the tool that they use so a mental health problem maybe. What you guys think?

Gangbangers are the majority of the deaths, IMHO.

Way certain things are going, it might actually be closer to truth with all the "trans" things

Yes. But how can one do that? Every time someone asks those questions they get the (as if programmed by propaganda) responses that you see in this thread.

The OP literally asked this question and was almost immediately eviscerated.

I can't believe I'm still coming back to read this thread - I guess I'm part of the problem…

Start a thread with a title like this one and then not have the stats to support your statement and then on top of it post a graph of something that is not even the topic of the thread and you are gonna have a good 'ol NWFA bubblegum show of a thread.

Don't make claims you can't support and maybe word a thread title so it doesn't read like the headline of a trash newspaper and maybe this thread would have gone a whole different direction.

It's to bad this was at the end of the first post because it's the most relevant and would have changed the tone of things.

GL with the conversation, I'll see y'all in other threads.

Don't worry @Joe13, we'll drag you back down to our level.

I'm here all week (you can thank me later) Don't forget to tip your waiters, waitresses and other's.

Could be, but by including nineteen year olds, I know it's already skewed.

Or 18 for that matter. i believe that still is Adult right? you can vote, die in military, etc

What's the leading cause of tyranny in this country?

You could maybe argue that 18yo's are typically still in HS, but 19yo's really shouldn't be there anymore.
