The idea that little kids are getting mowed down in statistically significant numbers is bullshit. But that's your prime currency these days Rob. If you weren't such a halfwit, you might actually read into the statistics and the study instead of parroting propaganda that fits your worldview like the good little NPC you are.
They get that leading cause of death by re-classifying 18 & 19 year old adults as "children".
Deaths from firearms 14 and under are statistically insignificant.
Deaths from firearms 15 and over are easily predicted by involvement in criminal gang activity. Not involved in gang activity = very low change of dying from a firearm.

In 2020 and 2021, firearms contributed to the deaths of more children ages 1-17 years in the U.S. than any other type of injury or illness. The child firearm mortality rate has doubled in the U.S. from a recent low of 1.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2013 to 3.7 in 2021.
If a sufficient part of the US political system feels like a number of deaths is a price they are willing to pay to keep their second amendment, why should they listen to some foreigner who disagrees?ROB wrote:supporting easily preventable children's deaths.

It's their house, their rules and ultimately their dead/maimed children.

With guns (and private swimming pools) parents are blamed, statistics are dismissed private interests kick in and (guns, not pools) sales increase out of fear sales may later be limited by law.

An 18 year old wondering America is much more dangerous than most of Europe.
