Guns kill 1,300 US children every year, study finds

About 1,300 US children under the age of 17 die from gun-related injuries per year, a government study has found.

Researchers at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also found that guns seriously wounded about 5,800 children each year.

It is a shocking statistic. In any other country than the US, the preventable deaths of children on this scale would not be tolerated for a moment. The outcry would be tremendous, governments that failed to act would be toppled quick smart - society would insist on a solution being found and found quickly.

However in the US and its unique gun culture this phenomenon is seen differently. The right to bear arms is politically untouchable so any searching examination of the role of guns in these deaths would be impossible. No doubt some Americans would even argue that this is the price to be paid for freedom, though where the logic lies in that argument is not immediately apparent to me.

Deaths of children on this scale are clearly a health epidemic demanding immediate action, though the chances of it being seen as such in the US seem remote at the moment.

I thought there was a limit on that but maybe I was mistaken. Or maybe it is just not enforced here and we have to put up with the shit.

Ya, we're aware that logic is not immediately apparent to you.

Let's see...no link to the actual study. I did follow all links provided.

About 40% were suicides, per the unlinked article and 6% accidental, both tragic but suicides and accidents happen all over so just because a gun was involved doesn't make that sort of occurrence any more or less than other places. 80% of the rest in gang areas where drug people use kids who won't be sent to jail.

Leaving, plus or minus, 140 kids actually killed in the way the sensationalist headlines would have you believe. So, 140 out of 330,000,000 people. Tragic. But not all of the alarm and bluster you wish to portray while trying to look like a big girl.

That's hurtful. Words cause real harm - ban them.

I usually have you on hide because...well let's face it...you're usually even more idiotic than Tweakabell. I must have clicked the wrong button for you to show up. But, here you are.


We're working on banning cars, swimming pools, bathtubs and high places first.

https://www.childtrends.org/indicators/unintentional-injuries/

quote:

The most common causes of fatal injuries differ among age groups. For instance, although suffocation is the most common type of fatal injury among infants (83 percent, in 2012), it accounts for only one percent of unintentional fatalities among adolescents ages 15 to 19. While only six percent of fatal injuries among infants are due to motor vehicle crashes, they account for 66 percent among adolescents. While drowning is the most common cause of fatal injury among children ages one to four (31 percent), for adolescents drowning accounts for seven percent of fatal injuries. Other notably common types of injury are poisoning among adolescents (accounting for 15 percent of fatal injuries), and fire and burn injuries among one- to four- and five- to nine-year-olds (seven and ten percent of fatal injuries, respectively).


Of course, as right wing wing nuts we are also trying to ban mothers that work and don't watch their kids themselves. Guns can come after the big stuff.

http://www.nber.org/digest/dec99/glied.html

quote:

Examining all these factors, Glied concludes that governmental regulations, though not unimportant, explain "relatively little" of the significant decline in child mortality. She reckons that improvements in the information on child safety given parents (some derived from regulations) are "a more probable cause" of the decline. When publicly-funded epidemiologists and statisticians identify frequent causes of injury and that information becomes widely available, parents rapidly make use of their new knowledge to assure the safety of their children. Those measures offset the fact that more mothers are working and fewer are married in the 1990s, and thus have less time to watch their children personally, than in the 1960s. Parents' time has become a less important factor in producing health, Glied writes.


Now that I'm gagging dealing with the loony leftist kool aid you spew, back to hide you go.

Why aren't you banning water, "the most common cause of fatal injury among children ages one to four (31 percent)"?

Or maybe do sensible things, like fences around swimming pools.

Or locking up guns around children.

Nor do we ban cars -- but we can add child safety seats.

And we can ask people with a fence to stay clear of dangerous high cliffs.

That seem unreasonable to you?
