All the kids were 19--and gangbangers!!<br /><br />2. Study funded by someone other than NRA!!<br /><br />3. I don't need to read the study because it's BS!!<br /><br />Since I 'm not neurologically impaired like "Superman" Hoffmmann, I will shed some light on the study.<br /><br />The study actually divided these kids into teens and non-teens. Among teens, the per capita rate of gunshot deaths was 4.6. Among non-teens, it was 4.0. Thus, Az Red's objection goes "poof."<br /><br />The study also found that urban kids were more likely to be homicide victims while non-urban kids were far more likely to be victims of accidents or suicides.<br /><br />--JadeGoldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-33151154672575663682010-05-25T14:43:15.559+02:002010-05-25T14:43:15.559+02:00They say "it's for the children," as...<i>They say "it's for the children," as if there's something wrong with that. That's what I call despicable.</i><br /><br />You know what I would call despicable? Anti-gun folks who fight gun safety education efforts in schools. These programs would undoubtedly reduce both the number of homicides in urban environments and the number of suicides in rural environments.RuffRidrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597758856457029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-54117202755778521522010-05-25T11:13:19.840+02:002010-05-25T11:13:19.840+02:00AztecRed, That doesn't make sense at all.

And of that 12,000, it's revealed that the majority of deaths are urban homicides. Basically, the gun controllers are counting adult suicides to skew their numbers in their favor.<br /><br />That's why gun controllers are mocked when they say, "It's for the children."AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.com
