Gun Control & RKBA

"School shootings unnerve Americans, but the number of children injured or killed in those tragic events is just a fraction of the young people harmed by firearms each year in the United States, a new study finds.

Injuries from firearms send over 7,000 kids to the hospital annually, an average of 20 per day. Among those admitted to the hospital, 6 percent die from their injuries, according to the study published in Pediatrics Monday.

“That’s more than 7,000 children injured badly enough to be hospitalized,” said Dr. John Leventhal, the study’s lead author and pediatrics professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “All are unnecessary hospitalizations because preventing gun violence is something that can actually be done.”

In addition to children hospitalized for gun injuries, another 3,000 die before they can make it to the emergency room, meaning guns hurt or kill about 10,000 American children each year, Leventhal said."

Oh and:

"Most of the injuries, 4,559, resulted from assaults"

Your guess was 56.

Why bother talking to you when you seem to not be living in reality?

This, 10,000 shot a year, is a huge problem that doesn't exist in any other country. And the best response gun guys have is to pretend it's not real... 56... really... that says it all.
