A 9-year-old boy shot his older sister to death over a video game controller, sheriff

Blacks committed 52 percent of homicides between 1980 and 2008, despite composing just 13 percent of the population. Across the same timeframe, whites committed 45 percent of homicides while composing 77% of the population, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
 
Just another sad chapter in the annals of American gun culture. Parents should be held legally responsible as well as gun manufacturer.

I see, so when a reckless driver causes a 20 car pile up, do you say, "Just another sad chapter in the annals of American car culture"? Of course you don't.
 
Bet the kid is black, the girl was named Dijonae

The boy felt disrespected so he did what Nigers do pop of a gun! Guess he learned it form his Niger friends



Just another sad chapter in the annals of American Niger Thug Culture

These people were either from Nigeria, or, you are literally so stupid, you can't even spell vile racial epithets properly. My money's on the latter.
 
Certainly ages 15, 16, and 17 are not adults.
Neither are 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, & 24 year olds. We're talking about kids and you say they exclude 15, 16, & 17 year olds. So you add those 3 ages along with 7 others (18-24yo. not kids) and you make your point after you move the goal posts in your favor. That's disingenuous. Especially when you consider the fact that the 18-24 yo. group most likely commit the bulk of those gun deaths. It can be said that you cherry-picked the add-on data to make the fake findings that you wanted to.
 
whenever I purchase a rifle; I agree in writing to keep it out of the reach of children under lock and key. children are never in my house.
 
Hello BodyDouble,

me: "Certainly ages 15, 16, and 17 are not adults."

Neither are 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, & 24 year olds.

Well then if they are not adults by your own admission they must be children.

We're talking about kids and you say they exclude 15, 16, & 17 year olds.

Prior to reaching the age of 18 they are legally children. I say that because it is true.

So you add those 3 ages along with 7 others (18-24yo. not kids) and you make your point after you move the goal posts in your favor. That's disingenuous.

The disingenuous part was when the purveyors of this fake news internet gossip came to a highly misleading conclusion which is unsupported by the data.

Way more people die from guns than pools. Pools are more deadly for infants and small children, but at some age break point between age 15 to possibly 20 at most, which we can not precisely establish with the given data, guns are immensely more dangerous than pools. That means for most people in the nation guns are more deadly than pools. They also completely erroneously called back yard pools responsible for all drownings with absolutely nothing to support that claim. A complete fabrication.

Especially when you consider the fact that the 18-24 yo. group most likely commit the bulk of those gun deaths.

The 15-24 yo group were responsible for a total of 7.357 gun deaths in 2016. That far eclipses the total 461 gun deaths attributable to 1-14 age. That age group also had 592 drownings in all bodies of water, not just backyard pools. How ingenuous is it to claim pools are responsible for all drownings with absolutely no data to support that? Fake News.

It can be said that you cherry-picked the add-on data to make the fake findings that you wanted to.

It can be said that the President is pregnant with a Martian baby. It wouldn't make it true. There are 3 years of childhood in the group available in the given data 15-24. There are 7 years of adulthood. If we estimated on the basis of the assumption of proportional spread of data then 30% of the figure would go to the 15-17 group and 70% of the figure would go to the adult group. (Why does it matter the age of the victims of gun deaths anyway? Do we not care about adults who are victims of gun shootings?)

You think the 18-24 yo group would be more likely to be a victim of another gun death. So what if we slanted that spread in your favor? How about we say only 20% of the deaths for the larger group are age 15-17, and 80% are age 18-24?

That would be

.20 x 7357 = 1,471

Add that to the 461 gun deaths in the 1-14 age group

1,471 + 461 = 1,932 estimated gun deaths for children using the 20/80 proportioning of given age group 15-24 data.

But we also need to apply the same calculations to the drownings.

There were 828 drownings in the 1-14 groups. There were 592 drownings in the 15-24 group. Since there is no reason to think there would be more drownings above age 18, we use a 30/70 split here.

.30 x 592 = 178

178 + 828 = 1,006.

That's an estimated 1,932 gun deaths vs 1,006 drownings for ages 1-17 in 2016.

What if the 15-17 yo figure was only a tenth of the whole group?

.10 x 7357 = 732

732 + 461 = 1193.

1193 gun deaths vs 1006 drownings in all bodies of water.

Still more gun deaths than pool deaths. And the benefit of the doubt was even given to the drownings figure, keep that at a proportional ratio.

And we have not yet begun to estimate how many of the drownings are pool deaths vs other bodies of water.

Or talked about why any differentiation should be made about which data to look at when determining if pools are indeed more dangerous than guns.

For all ages combined it is hands down.

Guns are FAR more dangerous than pools.

Oh, my bad. I made a boo-boo. A boo-boo that I inadvertently corrected when I said...

But you just HAD to say I admitted 18-24yo people are children. Disingenuous again.
The rest of your post is just numbers that you assume to be true based on zero study or fact. If you want to refute a claim, like you did with gun vs. pool deaths, at least have solid facts to back it up to make your claim. Or, continue to be disingenuous and keep posting.

some persons become adult at 5, 6, 7. do the maths. I would give double credit to a 5 year old testimony over the testimony of a 15 yr old. the damned weaponize and waste the youth.
