Nice try but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Cancer is by far and away the #1 killer to children followed by car accidents.

Or run them without assault weapons not being available.

Wrong! Cancer is No. 5. Car accidents are No. 2.

Gun deaths are No. 1.

You can’t count gun violence between bloods and crips with 15 thru 18 years olds.  It severely skews the data and point you’re making.  
 

I’m actually for strict(er) gun laws.  At least we should actually enforce the current laws.

It’s a terrible thing. 
 

But we live in a society with millions of privately owned firearms. That’s not going to go away. And while I’m generally for stricter gun laws, I’m not confident that any of them will make this situation any better.

Interesting, one might think that it was drag queens and trans folks rather than guns, judging from posts I've seen in this forum.

It seems to me that the first one would be quickly solved if we had a national database. But those politicians tied to the NRA always oppose this.

How would the first be solved with a national database?

The problem is that we find out people do those things listed and aren't being punished for them. Enforce laws on the books. Then lets talk about how those didn't work.

And people with guns are the No. 1 cause of child deaths in this country.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,988]

Well, almost all of them are being killed by criminals with illegally obtained pistols. If every ar-15 were to vanish from the face of the earth it would barely reduce the number of children or anyone killed in the US for that matter.  If you want to solve a problem a good place to start is where the problem overwhelmingly exists. But liberals don’t really care, or they would insist on people that carry and use illegal guns were given significant prison time. But they don’t, and neither does George Soros or his puppets. 

[wiffleball 4,788]

Actually, the number one cause of death is cardiac arrest.

Fauci was not a king. He was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, which means he served under four Republican presidents, including Trump.

HTH.

I didn't bring up Fauci, much less hold him up as my hero. You brought him up. I simply pointed out that he has never held the title of king, unless you consider the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as some kind position of royalty. 

None of this takes away from the fact that guns kill more kids than anything else, and we're the only nation on Earth that gun deaths represent the No. 1 cause of kid deaths.

Facts!
