Your doggy paddle saved you from drowning.I skimmed this thread and saw no constructive dialogue, as expected.
your link doesn’t work, dumbshitmy statement is factual. You're incorrect.the leading cause of death for children(1-17) is accidents(falls, drowning, auto etc etc)actually, the leading cause of death of “children” is firearms. And that is the headline that the media likes. But parsing the data tells a different story. First, in the cited stat, children are defined as 0 to 19 years old. Up to age 12 not many kids die from any cause and of those who do die, firearms are down the list. So the real stat re: firearms pertains to teenagers. As one would expect, more teens die from all causes than little kids. Firearms does take the #1 cause of death spot for teens, and in numbers that when 0-12 kids are added to teens, the firearms deaths of teen skews all age cause of death to firearms.Actually, the leading cause of death of children in the US is motor vehicle deaths. Fentanyl is killing a 100,000 Americans a year and the dazzler could give a sh*t. My high school had a gun range and kids brought their match rifles to school on the bus. Kids brought shot guns to school in their cars and then went pheasant hunting after school in the fall when pheasants were plentiful in the Willamette Valley. Guns weren't a problem then. Something has changed in our culture and we know what it is. But, disarming honest non-criminal Americans is not the solution. Disarming and punishing criminals is. Multiple arrests of gang bangers with felonies and in possession of a stolen guns results in minimal punishment in blue jurisdictions. But Team Dazzler isn't interested in disarming criminal gangs. They are interested in disarming you.
The teen deaths can be parsed even further. Mostly male, mostly suicide. Of homicides, further parse the data by race.
Draw what ever conclusions you want, but to me a picture comes into focus.
Gun violence as the cause of death in children has increased sharply in the last 4 years, under the Biden administration, but it is not the leading cause of death.

Fun joke but there is some truth to that (sub in muzzleloader for AR15). There were multiple trucks in the parking lot of my High School (80s in Texas) with rifles slung on gun racks. This was just 40 years ago. We had a shooting team at the High School for Christ sakes. Every friend I had had a Dad with at least 3 or 4 guns laying around the house. All of them loaded and none in safes. My point, guns were everywhere for youths in the 70s and 80s (and probably even more prevalent in the decades before that) but no school ever got shot up (okay probably not none but I think you get the point). Why is that? It really is a very good question. I am not trying to score points on you here. It's an issue I have thought about a great deal. I do not have the answer as to why this is, but it is unmistakable that decades ago guns were MUCH easier to get your hands on, and yet violent shooting deaths in schools were seemingly MUCH more rare. That tells me it is some combo of poor parenting, no parenting (no Dad in the picture), more glorification of violence, overmedicated kids, overstimulated kids, or a whole host of other potential issues.It is said that Ol Abe and his boys used to pack AR15s to their Knob Creek, Kentucky schoolhouse so they could hunt pheasant during recess.
Anti depressants, adderol and autism weren’t a thing 40 years ago.Ok I have no idea if the source of this data is accurate but I wanted to try to find something on school shootings. If the data is accurate then I was a little off. School shoottings did occur more than i thought in the 70s and 80s. Look at that spike in 86! But, in relative terms my theme was correct - WAY LESS shootings decades ago even though I am quite sure guns were MUCH more accessible than now.

Fern why don't you fill us in on what you think the problem is.Anything to ignore the obvious. Whatever it takes.
Not that it's related, but it was one day after the tranny manifesto came out.Strange the FBI knew about this kid for at least Year...
I doubt many will ever believe the government might be involved.
Also one day after Trump said he would release Epstein’s client list.Not that it's related, but it was one day after the tranny manifesto came out.Strange the FBI knew about this kid for at least Year...
I doubt many will ever believe the government might be involved.
