In the area of accidents …
More people die in bathtub accidents than in gun accidents. So, what’s the big deal about gun control? Shouldn’t the focus be on bathtub control?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 2006 and 2010 a total of 303 children under age 5 years old drown in just bathtubs (see page 8). If you include bathtubs used in conjunction with other products (infant bath seats placed in bathtubs), there is a total of 346 children under age 5 years old who drown. Since these deaths wouldn’t have occurred without a full-size bathtub, it seems as if they should also be included in the total.
By contrast, over that same period, the Centers for Disease Control finds that there were 291 children under age 15 and 94 children under 5 who died from accidental gun shots.
Now, with regard to terrorism:
From 2001 to 2016, 3,114 Americans have been killed by Muslim terrorists (accumulating the deaths reporting by Religion of Peace). This is TEN TIMES MORE THAN the number of children who died in bathtub accidents over the same period.
Worldwide, 206,000 people have been killed, and another 290,000 wounded by Muslim terrorists. Many of these people lived in countries where the mass of people don’t even have bathtubs.
CNN is not merely fake. It is vile and depraved. Totally indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of human beings, most of them Muslims, at the hands of Muslim terrorists. This is why Trump is a hero to most Muslims in the world. We are all in this together!
CNN would excuse the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the Gulag of Soviet Russia, and the Holocaust of Nazi Germany if they thought that would buy them a few more years of not being targeted.
Lol did you read the article? The second sentence in the headline is “It’s still worth spending billions to fight it”. The article is strongly in favor of continued antiterrorism efforts.
