Current Events > 19 American Kids are KILLED or INJURED a DAY because of GUN VIOLENCE!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

19 CHILDREN in the United States are killed or injured a DAY as boys, teens and blacks are most at risk according to a government study that paints a bleak portrait of the persistent violence.

Nearly 1300 children in the US die in shootings every year and another 5790 survive gunshot wounds from handguns, rifles and shotguns.

This makes it the 3rd leading cause of death for children aged 1-17 years old

While it confirms previously released information, it underscores why researchers view gun violence as a public health crisis.

It was compiled by analyzing death certificates and ER room visits.

Unintentional shooting deaths may be significantly under reported as well.

The first 6 months of 2016 found that minors died from accidental shootings at their own hands or the hands of other children or adults or at the hands of other children or adults at a pace of one every other day.

Congress has prohibited the CDC from using federal money to advocate or promote gun control as CDC Spokeswoman Courtney Lenard said the congressional directive "does not prohibit CDC from conducing public health research into gun violence and the agency continues to do so"

The accompany editorial says it's reasonable and wise for doctors to talk about firearms safety with parents, especially with those who keep guns at home

Do you think the United States has a Gun Problem? let's see what people will vote

But are guns hot
---

We have a gang and drug problem
---

Why lump injured people in with those who have been killed?

Is it too much to say x amount of people are killed and y amount of people are injured every day in the USA?

I saw this exact topic on politics.

The vast majority being older children/young adults and the cause being suicide and gang violence.

There's no gun problem.

Sit back and enjoy the fast decline of the country

I don't know about other countries but doesn't Chicago have very strict gun laws? Doesn't seem to be working too well.

I really don't care about this until I see numbers that break it down. Ages 1 to 13/14 or so and then from there until 17.

I guarantee it's mostly people that are 13-17 with gangs.

For some reason I read this as "19 American Kids are KILLED or INJURED a DAY because of GROIN VIOLENCE!!"

Guns are tools. The people are the problem.

Guns are tools. The people are the problem.

And what does a gun do as a tool? It's only use is to kill people.

Welfare creates single moms. Single moms create violent and poverty stricken ghettos. Violent ghettos lead to gun grabbing democrats.

As usual, the left addresses a symptom rather than the cause while trying to violate liberty and property rights. I would not want to disarm law abiding people who live in or near the places that account for most of American violent crime.

So guns are a not a cause of gun crime?

Crimes are committed by people.

Yes true but again surely guns are a cause of gun crime and less people would die without them?

If who doesn't have them? The gangsters who are blowing each other away in Chiraq aren't legal owners anyway, but the cops wouldn't dare go door to door collecting all the guns.

If nobody had them.

Are you going to answer the question or are you just going to continue to dodge it?

So that would include Mao and Pol Pot? I don't know, the Mongolians managed to kill a lot of people without them.
