Gun Ownership Comes With Gun Responsibility

that old horse was trotted out a looooong time ago...be a bit more current.............
in other words, that's old news hahahahahahahahahahha

 

Still passing around propaganda.

"Everytown" is a political gun banner front bought and paid for by Bloomberg. Anything from them automatically has 2 strikes against it.

The "16 times" is from a 1997 CDC report "
Rates of Homicide, Suicide, and Firearm-Related Death Among Children -- 26 Industrialized Countries " based on pre-1995 data. Thats 20+ years ago. In that 20 years, the USA violent crime rate and homicide rate has each dropped more than 50%.

The report also lumps suicide into the conclusion, which is false since suicide is not affected by the availability of a firearm. Including suicide exagerates the problem but gun banners are pushing a political agenda and are not interested in facts.

The report also contains this:

The findings in this report document a high rate of death among U.S. children associated with violence and unintentional firearm-related injuries, particularly in comparison with other industrialized countries. Even though rates in all other countries were lower than those in the United States, rates among other countries varied substantially and were particularly low in some countries. Although specific reasons for the differences in rates among countries are unknown, previous studies have reported on the associations between rates of violent childhood death and low funding for social programs (6), economic stress related to participation of women in the labor force (7,8 ), divorce, ethnic-linguistic heterogeneity, and social acceptability of violence (9).​

Note the part I highlighted in red. Access to firearms or firearm ownership are not listed as a major factor in violent childhood death.

You really should try to stick with first sources and skip the propaganda. So far you have an excfeptionally poor record in making your case.

 

Yes and the reason why they have to rely on such out-dated data is the NRA

 

LOL,blaming the NRA must be your by-line, just like "progressives" blame Bush for everything.

Tons of data published every quarter by the FBI and CDC, and you think banners are forced to go back 20 years for data. Banners go back that far because recent data firmly disproves their case.

 

Amazing...............

 

Data is not the same as research
