The gun debate rages on like a wild fire that no one seems to be able to put out. Especially when our future….. toddlers are
involved. These troubling statistics, that you will learn about, will with out a doubt, continue to fan the flames.
There are some who politicize gun violence, especially the Washington politicians.
How about the parents? Where are they? This whole debacle smells like blatant child neglect.
To add to my insight, how can one compare a premeditated terrorist act to an accident by an innocent toddler?
Anyway, enough of my rant. Here’s is the expert Benjamin Powers. Read more:
The GOP and the Democrats alike have politicized the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris, with many governors vowing to refuse refugees entry to their states.
Even though they’re technically not allowed to do so.
However, in light of the xenophobic tendencies of American politicians following the attacks, it’s worth noting that in the US in 2015, toddlers have been responsible for more shootings, and shooting deaths, than terrorists.
Since the beginning of 2015 there have been 52 toddler involved shooting incidents in the US. According to the Washington Post: When that article was published on Oct 14th, there had only been 43 toddler shooting incidents. Since then, there have been 9 more, with an average of one toddler involved shooting a week.
