Guess knives don’t count as violence either.

Seriously, what's the basis of any alleged violence? Fix that. Guns are not the basis for violence. Their existence doesn't cause or trigger violence. Something causes violence to happen and guns are just perhaps used incidentally.

Causal relationship. Cause and effect. You'd think a person with a doctorate would understand this concept.

I've seen up to age 23 being called a child!

They do this because there are so many criminals in the older part of the age range who die in crime related activities. That is, they bring their own demise upon themselves. They're drug dealers, gang bangers, etc.

I guess I missed the part about children enlisting in the military. I enlisted at 17. As I recall I arrived in Germany as a member of the 3Armored Division a couple weeks after my 18th birthday.

This is a ploy to get more funding.

I'm gonna laugh when they determine that just a few dozen zip codes cause the majority of gun violence/deaths. Which will trigger more funding for environment justice programs for the unusually high lead content in the community, brick walls, sidewalks, and soft tissue of young men of color.

children, lance corporal, children, voter, children, cross country truck driver, children, legally married, children, earning a living

You will please ignore the good sense God gave you, these things are all the same.

The country learned—or those with sense learned—not to pay attention to the public health “elite” in this country, outside of their very narrow real expertise. And even then, public policy decisions should not be made by the public health crowd, but by elected officials with a broader view of risks and benefits, and with advice from a much broader range of expertise.
Public health institutions have lost all credibility, even among those in the health community who have to deal with the effects of their terrible, tyrannical policies.

Im hoping the first things that happen in January is the abolishing of useless government agencies.

Most certainly the SG is a position that can be aborted along with several dozen entire agencies.

The only real way to reduce the size of government is to actually fire a few hundred thousand civil servants - most of whom are neither civil nor serving.

I hope president trump does what Lincoln did and that’s fire 75% of all government employees.

I saw a statistic the other day sayin roughly 48,000 people died from firearms.
It also mentioned over 900,000 abortions. With out getting into the nitty gritty of firearms deaths the real crisis is abortions.

Trump cant be president fast enough.

That's next (already at play in the UK).

Of course about a third of the "violence" attributed to firearms are suicides, but when the state lawfully aids and abets suicide ("Euthanasia"), is it not then labeled as violence? What about suicide committed by other means, ie: hanging, suffocation, poison, trauma caused by falls, motor vehicle crashes, etc...? Are these considered "Non-violent" deaths?
