I refuse to believe that all American gun owners are really ok with thousands of kids being shot.
 Quoting: seethelight


It's not ok, but the criminals will get their hands on guns whether there is a ban or not. Same goes for teens.
 Quoting: sonic doom


So just shrug and say fuck it, nothing to be done?

That's the solution?

Re: In 2008 alone, 20,000 American kids were injured with guns
Yeah, and those stats include "kids" up to 24 years old. Most of the deaths are due to gangbangers killing each other.

More high school kids are killed by school-sponsored sports events than murdered by guns each year.

FACT: 82% of homicides to children age 13 and under were committed without a gun.

FACT: In 1996 there were only 21 accidental gun deaths for children under age 15. About twice as many children under 10 die from drowning in bathtubs.

MYTH: 13 Children are killed each day by guns.

FACT: The statistics cited for this myth include "children" up to age 19 or age 24, depending on the source. Most violent crime is committed by males ages 16-24, so these numbers include adult gang members dying during criminal activity.

FACT: Two-thirds of the people that die each year from gunfire are criminals shooting other criminals.

FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 per day.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 754169


So all of that means 80 preschoolers a year being shot is ok?

You're ok with that?
 Quoting: seethelight

What I'm not ok with is removing our rights to prevent it. And anyway, statistics have proven that gun laws don't prevent murder anyway. In fact murder rates have gone up in every state that implemented stricter gun control laws.

22 children were killed this week in China by some guy with a knife. So are you going to make knifes illegal too?

I don't think OP is pushing for gun bans, he is just asking if the pro gun people have any solution for this problem. I think most of us can agree that a gun ban won't work but something has to be done right? Lots of us want to see stricter gun rules but the pro guns people don't want that. Ok ofcourse people can disagree but what solutions do you think will work? Like people say far more people die of car crashes and prescription drugs but its not as if we don't do anything about that.

Then the teachers need to be armed.
Designate at least one teacher or principal for gun use and send them to firearms training.
One gun in that school besides the ones the raging lunatic had would have stopped a majority of this carnage.

Banning all guns solves NOTHING.

Dear poster, your argument is specious. Unfortunately children die from myriads of causes.
You gave whatever rights away you ever had, do not mess with ours.

Alot of the children referenced would obviously be those under 18 or perhaps even including those 18 and possibly killed in gangland associations.

I have no clue about home invasion in Ireland but it is real herein the US and will continue to get worse as fewer and fewer jobs are available and economic condtions worsen and we like to think we can defend ourselves from this.

You can make all the laws you want regarding guns but it will not make those who illegally use them and who make these statistics real that you read conform with them, leaving the rest of the law abiding citizens defenseless.

Note the last item--guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year.

So this loss is the price we pay for eliminating this greater harm. Clearly even more little children would be victims in this 2.5 million other crimes that don't happen because guns prevent them from doing so.

There is little the average citizen can to with regard to gangbangers and yes, they do shoot little children and often in their drive-by shootings. Probably the greatest source for these preschool kids.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Where it is not gang related which is a totally different issue dealing with guns, it falls into a parental issue wherein people use common sense and judgment. Those kids who have parents who use neither will fall into 'accidents' from lack of supervison regardless and some of them will be fatal.

Every country, historically, that has lost its citizen's abilities to defend themsleves have fallen into dictatorship.

Contemporaneously, many western nations have made the first step and are carooming down towards the final end game in this.

Dear seethelight, over 50million babies have been killed via abortion, so get off your imagined soap box. This could be prevented and require no laws in order to effect that. First keep your dick in your pants, women keep their legs crossed and if you fail in this take responsibility.

How do you thinbk these babies would vote???????

You care about them then campaigne for them.
