    Will they? How likely is a parent to actually have to have that discussion?

        Ah, you have nothing but hyperbole. Fair enough, this is about what I’d expected.

            Which is largely irrelevant; try comparing our rates of child death by violence overall to other countries. I think you’ll be surprised at how the US stacks up.

              It’s not irrelevant to what I was saying in the first place, that it’s more likely than anywhere else in the world that you would need to explain to parents why their child got killed by a gun yet nothing is done to remove guns from people’s hands.

                So you add hyperbole to hyperbole? Interesting. I hadn’t realized I was talking with such a deeply unserious troll. Fair enough, I expected nothing less.

          Source on the 15? Because your article dates from 2018.

          What’s the leading cause of child mortality in the USA?

          What’s the leading cause of child mortality in the Canada?

          I’m using both these countries because they’re very close, geographically and culturally…

          Hint: One starts with a G and it’s not the same as the other!

          Edit: By the way, I didn’t bring up school shootings, just child death, funny you tried to switch it to school shootings only…

              Nope, firearms… and have you seen that downward trend on car death as they’re getting safer and safer? Yeah, things don’t look great for the future of your argument bud!

              And…

              The database *does not include school shootings in which fewer than four people were killed*, which have become far more common in recent years.

              Monday's shooting at a private Christian grade school in Nashville marked the 15th time since 1999 that gun violence has left *four or more* dead in a school in the United States.

              2 dead and 10 more hurt? Not a mass shooting based on their definition.

              Yeah… so you’re wrong.

              Oh and, that’s just schools, funny that you assume that children deaths related to guns only happen in schools.
