A utterly mendacious, illogical hit piece. It mentions only the increase of suicides (1%) but not the fact that over half of the mortalities by guns are suicides. In any event, over the course of several weeks nearly one million people were slaughted in Rhwanda by machetes. Nearly a million people! What difference what weapon was used? Golf clubs and cars and baseball bats have been used to kill people. 90 people in a NY social club were killed in one night by an arsonist with a gallon of gasoline and a match. If this is the “blame the weapon” sweepstakes than cars win. Confiscate the cars.
This article is a ill-disguised attack on the Bill of rights (people against the 2nd amendment are usually not happy with a few other ones as well) presented as a “concern”.
People intent on murder or suicide have a wide array of means to choose from. Focusing on the tool is inane and disingenuous. Leaving the public defenseless and defunding the police are part of the extreme left’s attack on the country. “Study finds” is losing credibilty every time they go this route.
I don’t disagree with you about the “left” and their position on issues but you’re being disingenuous as well if you think the “right” isn’t ruining America with their policies and procedures! You should be calling out both sides.
100% agree with Crockett. Also, not even a hint of the 100,000 deaths caused annually by Fentanyl overdoses, caused by Mexican cartels and the left-wing ideology of open borders. The people totally responsible for these deaths are in the mainstream media, media ownership, social media, Democrat Clintonites and a totally corrupt federal government.
So you’re blaming the cartels for the choices Americans make to take something they have no idea what it is or where it came from? You’re just as disingenuous and obtuse as Crockett is a few comments up!
It’s interesting the glorification of guns and killing in most movies/TV is never mentioned as a social cause for increased violence. I’m not even going to mention the music industry…(or did I?)
So don’t look at the societal issues: lack of parenting, lack of parenting brains, ect…ect…at nauseum, nope..just pass more laws…that’ll fix it.
Children in this study are defined as those aged 19 or under. What percentage of “children” killed by firearms are late teens, involved in drug gangs, shooting each other in furtherance of an organized criminal enterprise? 90%? More?
Guns are not killing kids, people committing murder are killing kids! Stop pushing this narrative of “guns kill kids” and address the true cause, stop being obtuse!!
Idiot parents not teaching their kids to keep their hands off guns. Idiot lawmakers not allowing parents to tan the hide off kids who disobey them.

Abortion is the #1 cause of death among children.
For Christ sake!! There’s always one of you in ever looney bin!
I agree, the left is all about killing black babies
