Question for Republicans: What is the #1 cause of death for children in America?

[BrotherFease]

Don't cheat by googling. Once you have your answer, I want to know how many pieces of legislation has the right-wing politicians proposed within the last 4-6 years to reduce such #1 death?

It's gun deaths but the majority are gang related. So what are democrats doing about gang crimes?

I don't have to google it.

It's common knowledge to all sane people.

The number one cause of death of children is guns.

The pieces of legislation to put a stop to it from the right?

ZERO

Pieces of legislation to make it worse?

Many at the state level.

Let's see how many righties get this correct. I'll bet zero.

And? how many pieces of legislation has the GOP proposed to curb such problem?

 

[Craig234]

Republicans would want to answer, "Democrats". And George Soros.

You're going to need to provide some credible proof of your claim about it being majority gang related.

I tried to find proof of it but I couldn't.

Meanwhile here is what the New England Journal of Medicine has to say. Notice the word gang isn't mentioned even once.

Letting the perpetrators go.

Because its acceptable risk to be American.

How has curbing the problem worked out in states that are allegedly curbing the problem? I'm a conservative and I'm in favor of greater gun controls and restrictions. But I'm not a one issue voter.

On the subject of deaths what's the number one cause of death of 18-45 year olds? Fentanyl. The fact the deaths continue to increase year to year suggests the folks in power could care less.

You will get nitpicked about the study by the 2A cheerleaders, without a doubt. And the nutters will have many pedantic observations about the study which will be their attempt to distract from the crux of the issue, which is that too many young people are dying because of firearm violence.

I am still a registered Republican, but your bold part is what I am most frustrated about the GOP. I don't see much passion on the gun deaths or on the Fentanyl. It's all about CRT and LGBT politics.

Oh, you are wrong, they all know it but just do not care as along as gun violence does not come knocking of their door.

The deaths of other people's children are "statistically insignificant".

Criminals are not going to abide by gun laws, they do not now.

Look up the FBI's crime numbers.

The FBI doesn't keep records on who gangs kill.

Get real here.

You have yet to post credible proof of your claim.

Apparently you don't have any.

It would help if you defined terms because the #1 cause changes with age. Poisoning is generally regarded as the biggest threat to preteens with traffic fatality high on the list.

Once you get to middle school age, things change. It appears you have the belief that firearms are the big culprit. If so, you need to differentiate accident, homicide, and suicide as causes of death.

It has more to do with big money form gun lobbyists than anything else. Cut off their gun money, and the 2nd A won't mean shit to any of them anymore.

The answer is Firearms. That’s not an opinion. It is a fact. So far, nobody has pointed to any legislation the GOP has proposed or passed.

Shootings.

Is it now?

What's your point? Are you implying that young people's deaths caused by firearm violence are okay 'cause crime?
