They do a whole lot more damage than guns do in decent citizens'
hands.

"Among those 1-14, fatal drowning remains the second-leading cause of
unintentional injury-related death behind motor vehicle crashes."
This group is the actual Children, distinct from the teenage juvenile
offenders who run up the homicide statistics that are deceptively
attributed to "children".

So, there is no mass outcry over 500 children a year drowning, but
look what a mere 15-20 gun deaths cause. sigh Typical.

There WAS a mass outcry. It happened around 50 - 60 years ago, and now
every civilized community in the US requires child-proof fences around
pools, and, in many places, makes it a crime to leave children
unattended at a pool without adult supervision. See? I still remember
that from Red Cross Senior Lifesaving and YMCA Lifesaving Instructor
classes. d8-)

What's the gun equivalent to the fences? Trigger locks or locked
safes? Hmmmmm?



Gun restrictions are a convenient way to attack and punish "them"
while distracting attention away from the hazards that are important
to "us", such as the drugs (legal and otherwise) that keep your heads
together.

Poor paranoid gun nut, you're so abused. People actually threaten to
make you responsible for the things you own and what you do! The NERVE
of them!

"Of the 1937 total case reports of violence toward others, there were
387 cases of homicide,"

"These data provide new evidence that acts of violence towards others
are a genuine and serious adverse drug event .."

It makes one wonder if the drugs simply don't work or just tend to
magnify the violent tendencies those sickos have, doesn't it?

So, what event will finally kickstart the masses into Gunner's Great
Cull or the Second American Revolution? Will it be another attempt at
gun grabs, or some more gov't-funded domestic terrorism, or simply a
little bit more of the typical give-a-**** attitude out of D.C. about
their massive overspending and waste? Doesn't the tree need pruning?
Oh, and fertilizing. (Right, Mr. Jefferson?)

The event that will kick it off is all of you falling down the rabbit
hole together, and meeting the Red Queen.

You can be the Mad Hatter.
