Gun Control & RKBA

(5,455 posts)The point, which you so obviously missed, was that accidental gun deaths make up a small fraction of deaths in the United States.
Those children in the 0-14 age group that died of the following causes: 625 drowned; 408 from the flu and pneumonia; 1345 in motor vehicle accidents; 106 drug induced deaths (It does not specify legal or illegal drugs), those deaths are just as tragic and just as preventable as the 69 children that died in accidents involving firearms. So where is your outrage about those deaths?
Where is your outrage about the children and people dying on a daily basis in the cities of Chicago, Washington D.C. or Newark or numerous other cities that have major crime problems?
Oh wait, based on the lack of posts, the gun control extremists either don't care about the people dying in the cities or are afraid to recognize that the very strict gun control laws in those cities have done nothing at all to reduce crime.
Your hypocrisy would be less obvious if you cared about all the other people "needlessly dying before their time".
