In the last 5 months there have been at least 71 kids killed by guns. Average just under 6 years old

195. And thus the false choice you present

We're never going to have "no guns", we're never going to have a 20mph speed limit, and we're never NOT going to have kids killed in accidents.

We would save far more lives outlawing bathtubs and swimming pools. To anybody but the most ardent swimmer, if given the choice between unnecessary standing pools of water and no guns, would pick "no pools" in an instant.







I'm just pointing out that you accept 1,225 deaths child deaths a year for economic reasons, yet for 62 a year you are willing to do things that are extremely difficult and costly and not very effective.

On this Pareto chart, you're willing to potentially incur significant and chronic political losses, which directly prevent other progressive issues from being addressed and progressive ideas from being implemented, in order to address "tungsten inclusion"




Far more children die because of our health-insurance and health-care system's flaws ("shrink&quot than from gun accidents. The effort to save a portion of those 62 annual firearms deaths could instead go to save a couple of orders of magnitude, maybe more, of the children with better medical care.
