And where did you see that?

I grew up with guns, my daughter grew up with guns, there are things out there that kill more kids than guns do.

Rank Cause of Death Total Deaths No of Deaths Percent

here's a list from 2005
All Deaths 3018 3018 100.00%
1 Unintentional Injury 1176 38.97%
* Mohor Vehicle Traffic 621 20.58%
* Drowning 159 5.27%
* Fire/burn 153 5.07%
* Suffocation 40 1.33%
* Other Land Transport 33 1.09%
* Pedestrian, Other 27 0.89%
* Struck by or Against 20 0.66%

* Fall 18 0.60%
* Other Spec., classifiable 17 0.56%
* Poisoning 15 0.50%

here's a few things that are killing more kids
2 Malignant Neoplasms 537 17.79%
3 Congenital Anomalies 199 6.59%
4 Homicide 140 4.64%
5 Heart Disease 92 3.05%

10 Cerebrovascular 33 1.09%
11 Anemias 29 0.96%



Most of these are from ignorant people that thought they underestood guns and didn't

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
