@Lorajay Ever heard of a kid falling on their head while riding a bike? You want to scare a kid into thinking if they fall off their bike they could get killed? I know what you're saying but we lived in a time when kids didn't wear helmets riding their bikes and we all made it through just fine. So someone has parents convinced that kids need helmets and my guess is the odds of getting shot is better. Guess your kids life might be worth hundreds of dollars The way I know that is that if you're sitting at the dinner table with your kids and a man walks into your kitchen with a briefcase, and he says, "I've got 5$ million in this briefcase and I'll trade it for your son." Bet you don't make the trade. Guess you can spring for the vest.

I think everyone should have a minigun that can put out about 3000 rounds a minute, all ammo is provided by the government, who could afford it on their own? Also everyone should by law have to carry around at least a thousand rounds, just in case. I would be bloody mess but the extinction of the human race would not take as long as we are presently moving towards it. Apparently as a species we are not smart enough to see that profit is not as important as living. If no one is alive there is no profit, if we as a society cannot see this then we are done.

@dalefvictor it's not the species it's americans. Plenty of countries don't allow guns or make it difficult to buy them. The asshole second amendment people seem to think that it's inviolable. Just like it's their right to kill people by not wearing masks because it's their right, the law be damned which says that the state has to protect and can protect its people. The Constitution also gives us the right to vote but those same people don't have any problem with 100 legislative bills regulating voting. But it's the people's reactions that are also troubling. A mask gets in the ocean and around the nose of a dolphin so we should stop selling masks. No one gives a shit about how anything gets into the ocean. I'm guessing you didn't wear a helmet when you wrote a bicycle and you lived through it. I'm also guessing your house wasn't childproofed. Parents worry about those things but not their kids getting shot in school. Frustration was the reason for my post.

I expect shit from you every time so it's no big deal. Apparently you missed the whole point about no one caring about kids getting shot and the odds of them falling on their head riding a bike.

@lerlo They care about both. Whataboutit?
