Not that children dying isn't a bad thing, or that firearms haven't killed children, but that should be a parents responsibility to put there gun somewhere the kids cant get to it. If you take a look at the studies the gun control supporters use to back up their point of view, they have doctored the facts a bet. President Bill Clinton campaigned for so-called "triggerlock" and "smart" gun laws, claiming that 13 children are killed with guns every day. Other gun control supporters have varyingly claimed 5,000 kids are killed per day or one every 90 seconds. In fact, on average there are 1.3 such deaths among children per day, including one accidental death every 4 days. The figures gun control advocates have used are produced by adding the smaller number of firearm-related deaths among children to the much larger number of deaths among juveniles and young adults under the age of 20. Some "anti gunners" have even counted anyone under the age of 24 to get a higher number. (Firearm Safety In America) Regardless of the numbers it is a shame any kids die needlessly because their parents are to irresponsible to keep guns safely put away.
Politicians seem to be some of the biggest supporters of taking firearms away from the common people. They feed on the mothers, fathers, brothers, families, and friends of people who have died with guns for votes and to give the government all the .
power concerning firearms. Our founding fathers put in the second amendment to safeguard our right to bear arms. They also put a little something in the Declaration of Independence that may have something to do with politicians wanting to take our guns away.
In the declaration it is clearly stated "[b]ut when a long train of [a]buses and [u]surpations, pursuing invariably the same [o]bject, evinces a [d]esign to reduce them under absolute [d]epotism , it is their [r]ight, it is their [d]uty, to throw off such [g]overnment, and to provide new [g]uards of their future [s]ecurity".
