You’re a big cheerleader for kids, and that is a wonderful thing, we need more folks doing the same.
However, I have yet to hear you mention anything about the number one killer of children in the United States ? Guns…they are killing more kids today than automobile accidents.
For decades, auto accidents have been the leading cause of death among children, but in 2020 guns were the No. 1 cause, researchers say.
Overall firearm-related deaths increased 13.5% between 2019 and 2020, but such fatalities for those 1 to 19 years old jumped nearly 30%, according to a research letter in New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers analyzed data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing that there were a record 45,222 firearm-related deaths in the U.S. in 2020.
Conclusion: Myocarditis represents almost 3% of all sudden pediatric deaths. Enterovirus and parvovirus were the most common viruses. This retrospective analysis showed that patients experienced viral symptoms but remained unsuspected, highlighting the need for more clinical awareness of myocarditis.
Thank you sir. Now to this new issue you bring up. I have no doubt all the thugs across our country randomly shooting with illegal guns kill a lot of babies. I know a few right here in walterboro killed by guns… but… this is what I’m seeing… I don’t see how thugs with guns and careless parents storing them are killing more than the below percentages. Not sure how you grew up, but Me and all my friends had guns in the house and were taught the dangers of them.
12% of deaths – Preterm births and neonatal disorders
10% of deaths – Diarrheal diseases
9% of deaths – Congenital defects
45% of deaths – Infectious diseases
24% other… to include dog attacks, guns, automobile crashes, etc.
I’d love to go further and mention different sets of rules for gun regulations, but that would just rile up individuals and get this removed. Please let’s keep this civil, Good information and a good thread here.
and yet here ya are! I don’t try to skirt the rules, so please stop saying I do. Just a small few that get offended when ANY thing political comes up. Good gracious that’s just life my friend. I don’t see where the “sound of Freedom” thread about Child abuse needed to be moved. If anything maybe a reply deleted? Can y’all do that?
