Produce for us statistics showing such a claim or it nothing more than personal belief. Your argument is no better than ours either way some innocent children must loose their lives.

Empathy is a great human quality.

I wish I saw more of it.

Going to watch my movie now.

my son's life is just as precious as everyone elses lives.

At least we're not trying to use this incident to promote an agenda.

This was because of someone's stupidity.
Wasn't it?

I'll have to look.
Y'all sure have made a mess of this thread.

yes it is....but using a tragedy for an agenda isn't much empathy. i suspect had you not added the agenda tag to the end of the story....the responses would have been different until the anti-gun agenda was brought up

yes...this was done by stupidty...but not by guns. the stupid guns owners in the OP are to blame

Mess'o a thread is right! Glad to know of so many others with like mind.

Yep. This thread had literally "blown up". Wow.

Proud gun owner.
Some of us enjoy shooting at the range and some prefer to park their wide glide on the couch and plant their face in a carton of ice cream. We all have our thing.

I compete in IDPA

Totally wasted.

Texas gave too many rednecks too much room with-in the law to practice their stupidity.

lol hun. I was just adding to your post is all

Liberalism is a mental disorder.Thats why you can't win debates with a liberal.

actually...this is against the law....hence them in jail now

Firearm Safety In America 2009

The number of privately owned guns in the U.S. is at an all-time high, and rises by about 4.5 million per year.1 Below, statistics from 1981 forward are from the National Center for Health Statistics; those prior to 1981 are from the National Safety Council.2 NCHS annual numbers, rates, and trends of common accidents and selected other causes of death, for the U.S., each state, and the District of Columbia, are available on the NRA-ILA website in spreadsheet format.3

The firearm accident death rate is at an all-time annual low, 0.2 per 100,000 population, down 94% since the all-time high in 1904. Since 1930, the annual number of such deaths has decreased 80%, to an all-time low, while the U.S. population has more than doubled and the number of firearms has quintupled. Among children, such deaths have decreased 90% since 1975. Today, the odds are more than a million to one, against a child in the U.S. dying in a firearm accident.



Motor vehicle deaths


Since 1980, the motor vehicle death rate for teens ages 15 to 19 has declined dramatically
from 42 deaths per 100,000 in 1980 to 25 deaths per 100,000 in 1999, with the greatest
reductions taking place during the early 1980s. (See Figure 1) Rates ranged between 25
to 28 per 100,000 from 1999 to 2003, then decreased to 25 per 100,000 in 2004.


Guns = a million to one

cars = 25 per 100,000


Should we ban cars also?

Mike Savage listener?!

There is only one to stop all illegal and immoral behavior by everyone. Global mass suicide.
