The comment: Guns in the news. Again. And once more our laws, their level of enforcement, and our social programs were unable to avert this tragedy. Gunshot is one of the leading causes of death in those in the age range 0-19 years.* Guns in the news. Again. Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot. * Ref: Current Causes of Death in Children and Adolescents in the United States | NEJM
It’s the new guns. Older guns were more responsible and didn’t drive around looking for cheap ammo, and then start blasting in thug parties. They mostly stayed home and didn’t get out much.
