Would reducing the number of guns in the U.S. save kids like this? Can you imagine how many lives would be saved if children were required by law to wear helmets when they rode a bicycle? And it could actually be done. Heck, it'd be easier to make kids wear helmets all the time than to reduce the number of guns sufficiently to prevent these types of incidents. If you really want to "save the children", there are better things to put your energy into. Why does a gun incident cause a gun control frenzy, when other incidents that are much more preventable (not to mention far more numerous) are essentially ignored? kj.
This is a nonsense comparison. Also, many states do have child helmet laws that save lives...what of it?
