Report; More than 1,200 children in US killed by guns in the last year

[Grokmaster]

I wonder how many victims were NRA buffs ?

347 gunshot homicides.....390 DROWNINGS in POOLS and SPAS.


DISARM OBAMA VOTERS in URBAN AREAS....CUT GUN VIOLENCE by 80%.

[MAGA MAN]

Not one . Foetuses ? Very few were shot, I guess - unlike the 1200 children killed by guns in the USA last year.

You can't spell fetus,so you obviously don't know the definition. Let me educate you. From M-W.com:

a developing human from usually two months after conception to birth

Key word here: human.

You can't spell fetus.

Sure I can. Foetus. You must be thinking of those things stuck to your ankles.

Anything to avoid having to face the reality of murdering millions of developing humans.

To the contrary- you have introduced foetuses as a diversion from the 1200 US kids killed by guns last year.

Just as many killed by traffic accidents. TRUTH. But your PTSD won't allow you to acknowledge that.

Hmmm. Tell us about a society without vehicles.

Then tell us about a society without guns.

Which one survives?

There's no such thing as a society without guns, but your PTSD won't allow you to see that.

Hello rjhenn,



Connecticut. Should everybody be posting with large all bold font now? Does that make an argument any more correct than it otherwise is?

Or is that simply being used to prop up a weak argument...

Yet Connecticut's suicide rate has risen 19.2% since that law was passed in 1999.
The large bold print just makes it easier to read. Although that doesn't show up on my phone, which is where I do most of this. I rarely change the print when posting on my phone because I don't see the option. Tapatalk has benefits and limitations.

Deflection

Just pointing out that you are obsessed with guns, such that other deaths don't really matter to you.

Hello rjhenn,



All of which would be a crime punishable by law.

And who is to say that the weapons and the ammunition cannot be traced if the law deems it must be?

Yeah, like that sort of thing works so well for drugs.

Just another reason to put gun safety education into all public schools. Something the control freaks oppose, because their arguments depend on ignorance. And their paranoia about guns is more important than the lives of children. Children are just meat for their propaganda grinder.

Tell it to 1200 mothers and fathers.

Hello rjhenn,

Sounds like an NRA talking point. Has any connection been shown? And more importantly, would it have been higher without the law?

I was delighted when I first got a phone that had voice recognition technology. I thought it was so cool, and a wonderful advancement. The more I learned about it, I felt betrayed. The SW was not installed on the device. Instead, the device sends the voice to a remote server (using data) and the remote server crunches it into text, then sends the text back to the device. I couldn't believe it. What a scam! To know that they could have simply installed the SW on the device, which would make it work better and not be dependent on a connection, but they chose to offer it this way instead just made me want to shake my head.

I realized what a scam it is. It is designed to get you hooked on a new needless habit which causes you to use lots of data. I have a minimum data plan and no I don't want to pay for an unlimited data plan for something I don't need. I used it for a few days back in the day until I saw the data spike, realized what was going on, then I never used it again. Even at my minimal data plan, I never even come close to using all the data. I could understand if high data usage was necessary, but this is contrived for profit. I do not appreciate such greedy engineering.

And now, to learn that they are saving everything you say into that device, (and can use it against you) to know that memory has become so cheap they can do that, and to realize that computing is exploding so fast and it is not known what kind of SW they will come up with in the future, nor what they will direct that SW to do with all the saved information on individuals, well, I just don't trust monstrous multi-national corporations anywhere near enough to want to take any more risks with my privacy than needed.

I also refuse to get the habit of using a phone for music. I have my own music and movie files, DVD's, CD's, Cassettes, and Vinyl collections, and maintain my own listening and watching selections and devices. I do not depend on a connection for my entertainment.

If the provider would even offer a lower level of data plan for a lower price I would be all over that.

I am ashamed of the way this country has become so weak and spineless that so many people are willing to pay so much for things they don't have to that these things now cost way too much.

American internet is approx half the speed of South Korean internet, and we pay about twice as much for what we get. It's a total rip-off. I wish we could all stand strong against these few giants and show them their place. I would totally be for a non-profit national public communications system organized and overseen by the government. It is my view that certain basic things that everyone uses should not be for-profit businesses. Such as health care, communications, energy, education, transportation, food, water, housing. Basic banking should be provided by the USPS. If for-profit companies wish to offer upgraded versions of these at a higher price that's fine. But human lifestyle has risen to the point that many basic things should be provided by all of us simply getting together and doing it as a large group, a nation-sized group. Of the people by the people for the people. That would have to be more efficient, and it would lead to a fantastic explosion of human advancement to not be limited for such basic items by wealth. Our arts and engineering would then explode, take a quantum leap forward toward amazing new possibilities.
