actually, it’s a shaky argument because this is liberal logic. Your headline says, “Bicycle Accidents Kill More Children than Guns”; when it should say Bicycle Accidents Kill More Children than Gun ACCIDENTS..... Only a liberal would bite on that.

“Bicycles Accidents Kill More Children Than Guns, But You Don’t See Calls to Ban Bikes”

This headline is written and/or punctuated poorly.

Bicycles Accidents (as is, this is a double plural (if there is such a thing).

It should be

1. Bicycle (singular) Accidents (plural) unless they are talking about multiple accidents involving multiple bicycles.

2. Bicycles/Accidents or Bicycles and Accidents or Accidents Involving Bicycles.

True. What I meant was that bicycling, like driving, is not a good analogy in a gun rights argument because both are subject to government regulations on their use, and head injuries to youth have decreased since helmet laws have gone into effect.
