One hundred sounds like a large number until you look at all the other
things that cause accidental death with children. This is yet another
case of raising the emotional cry of "what about the children?" when
the real purpose is to advance a personal anti gun agenda.
I wonder if that includes all the under 18 year-olds in Chicago and
elsewhere. Oh, wait, they don't
count, and it's 'racist' to mention them.
It's quite telling that right-wing assholes like Herring and W'hine so
easily dismiss the death of children killed by firearms.
I do not think they dismiss the killings. I think we, as a society, have
become inured to drug dealers, killing other drug dealers. We do cry about
the innocents killed, but overall why really care? The local neighborhood
will not testify, or even get up a vigilante committee. As long as they
keep it local to their neighborhood, we will ignore it for the most part.
Until we change the War on Drugs, there will be no stopping the killings.
If it turned in to a Mexico type drug war, then all those people with legal
guns will get riled up.
Herring and the other right-wing assholes don't give a damn about the
mass murders of kids in schools.
Mass murders in school are less than years past, and are a minor notation
on death by shooting.
Oh. How nice.
