Had to say it. Need to warn everyone that firearms are running around rampant shooting children....according to National Public Radio.

I think the uptick on both firearmss and auto that started in ~2013 is likely related to the big uptick in social media. What I don’t see on the chart is alot of other accident types outside auto, firearm, fire and drowning.

Note that drugs jumped significantly after the lockdowns as well.

Thanks for posting the graphic.

They lump all causes together, so it will include suicides, accidents, criminal homicides and also lawful defensive uses. None of these categories amounts to a valid reason to violate a Constitutional right, but it is galling to try to do so because of lockdown-related suicides and catch-and-release gang violence, and is especially galling to try to do so because of lawful defensive uses, which amount to a reason to expand rather than curtail gun ownership.

I work with a younger pharmacist who is anti-gun. I explained to her that, especially with my poor health, there is no other equalizer should a man decide he wants to follow me to my car or break into my home for nefarious purposes, and that by nature, criminals don’t care about laws. They will 3D print them, buy them on the black market, steal them, and raid police buildings which were evacuated due to rioting should things get as bad as 2020 again. I explained how all proposed bans and gun laws wouldn’t have stopped ANY of the last few shootings to make national news, too.

I left her confused.

“…they should be able to own guns, drive cars, vote, drink, smoke MJ and get conscripted starting at the age of 7.”

You forgot consent. Remember the NAMBLA code- “sex before eight, or it’s too late.”

The leading cause of death of children are their own mothers. Unfortunate fact.

14-19 year old children, yes possibly. Children between 12 months and 14 largely don’t die except by accidents like drownings and car crashes.

Nonsense. The leading cause would be abortion.
