Just checked... Firearms are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 18 in this country according to the most recent data, surpassing motor vehicle accidents.

 

WWW.KFF.ORG

Firearms were responsible for 20 percent of all child and teen deaths in the U.S. for both 2020 and 2021, compared to an average of less than 2 percent in similarly large and wealthy nations. This puts the U.S. far ahead of peer nations in child and teen firearm deaths.

 

Quote

In 2020 and 2021, firearms were involved in the deaths of more children ages 1-17 than any other type of injury or illness, surpassing deaths due to motor vehicles, which had long been the number one factor in child deaths. In 2021, there were 2,571 child deaths due to firearms—a rate of 3.7 deaths per 100,000 children, which is an increase of 68% in the number of deaths since 2000 and 107% since a recent low of 2013.

 

While the rate of firearm deaths among children has increased since 2000, the rate of motor vehicle deaths is now significantly lower than it had been. The number of motor vehicle deaths among children in 2021 was 49% lower than in 2000, though it did grow during the pandemic by 22% from 2019. Though fewer in number than firearm deaths among children, deaths due to poisonings, which include drug overdoses, have also grown, increasing 186% since 2000 and 103% since 2019.

 

So it doesn't seem like giving a 16 year old a car is more dangerous than giving them a gun anymore.

Dc v heller was in 2008 so makes sense that the low would be in 2013. Approximately five years after we said any ole dipshit can own a firearm, challenges to state laws get through courts, and hey greater availability of guns catches up

Black kids are killed at 5x the rate of other groups from guns. Liberals don’t want to enforce gun laws on black offenders in the name of “equitable justice” so violent offenders stay out of prison until they kill someone.

 

Until liberals want to take the law seriously for offenders regardless of color, new laws aren’t gonna change anything.

So you're worried about black on black crime are you worried about the disproportionate cop on black crime too?

There is no disproportionate violence against blacks by police. This is current dogma from the left that has no data to back it up.

Bro, this isn’t an issue of like, some quirk in the data or whatever. It’s pretty much common knowledge throughout American society. There’s plenty of evidence; it just doesn’t vibe with your stupid ass worldview.

Uh huh. Roland went looking for it, assumed he would find it. It’s not there. Anecdotal evidence doesn’t stand up to a systemic review of police encounters. Take the L.

I'll give Fryer the benefit of the doubt for his analysis of the data he researched for violent interactions between minorities and the police.

 

However, violent interactions alone doesn't represent the full scope of the systemic issues surrounding the relationship between minority communities and law enforcement.

That’s fair and I would agree.

What the hell are you talking about? Black kids are OVERLY policed and sentenced in this country whether the state is red or blue. There's too many guns in this country and they are too easy to get a hold of by anyone, regardless of color. This is the issue... not liberals being "soft on black kids".

The vast majority of gun violence is in USA’s cities by blacks on other blacks. In fact without it, USA would be on par with most European countries. Blacks are disproportionately affected by gun violence more than others.

 

Gun laws sound good, but you have to be serious about them. In the UK you go to jail for 5 years if you have a gun on you and commit any crime. In liberal USA cities, it’s common to have people on the streets who have been arrested half a dozen times with violent offenses committed with guns.

America, where even people who are actively making “terroristic threats” can walk into Walmart and get an automatic rifle.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but holy moly this is even worse than I imagined when I read the FBI statement about this interaction occurring. “I’ll take you at your word.” This failure by the police is next level.

Holy shit, when the dad tells the cops there to try to be extra calm because his son might react poorly to their questions. 

 

Dad deserves jail and those police should never be allowed away from a desk.

Only the 2nd week of school for us and already trouble.  About an hour ago, friends started contacting us about a Snapchat account with the initials of my son's middle school and another middle school. A picture of a hand holding a Glock, saying be ready for a shooting at both schools tomorrow 8am.  The district just sent an email saying they are aware and investigating with law enforcement but for now school is still on. Everything about it screams that it's a fake threat but it sure does give you pause...
