  1. Except that's patently false, guns are NOT the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Abortion is the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. by many, many times more (over 300 times more)! There were about 640,000 children killed by abortion in the U.S. in 2019 alone. Get your stats straight and try telling the truth once in a while.

  2. You forget to mention 54% of all gun-related deaths in the US were suicides.

  3. Numbers were purposefully skewed for that “study”. It includes ages up to 19, not 18. That’s because most homicides are committed by and against 17-19 year olds in inner cities. Gangs. More children die from drowning each year than from being shot with a rifle.

  4. Well this is a lie. "Study say". Statistics says different.

  5. REPEAL the 2nd Amendment
    Instead of ‘prayers’ ‘condolences’ ‘RIP’ etc
    It’s time to take action – – –

  6. Not according to the NRA, but hey clearly a private organization focused solely on selling more guns would be the best source of information on guns instead of federally funded gun research, also according to the NRA…

  7. There are too many semi-auto weapons that can use large capacity magazines in this country. Many may be converted to full auto. These weapons were designed for use in combat. Get used to seeing more mass shootings like this. It is too late for gun control laws to make a meaningful difference now. This is a gift from the NRA and Republicans that will keep on giving.

  9. Hebrews 10:22- let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, . . .

    James 4:8- Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

    Isaiah 34:1- Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples! Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

    Jeremiah 29:12- ‘Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen . . .

  10. What about fentanyl, alcohol, and automobiles, they kill too. Should we get rid of fentanyl because 150 people die every day from overdose? We need to keep everything in perspective especially since many of our politicians care about Ukrainians more than Americans. If they did, there would not be a baby formula shortage, homelessness, open borders, 800,000 missing kids a year, etc.trillion dollar debt deficits, and them acting like the kids they take an oath to serve. Fix those problems and stop trying to take more of our rights away.

  11. One way to stop this is to sue the NRA till they are crippled. They and the republicans are making billions of the sale of weapons. Make the NRA responsible.

  12. The only thing that can be done about this is to VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS so that gun laws can be changed! God bless Uvalde and God bless Ukraine!

  13. People who need to use a gun to multiply their destructive capacity are really cowardly.

  14. People need to take a look at mental health and gun regulation. Not sure how they would do gun regulation since it would make it harder for law abiding people to have guns, but criminals have all the crazy looking guns with attachments. Guns are a weapon of murder no matter who holds it. Twist it however you want someone dies because of guns

  15. Why does no one seem concerned with the weird 22 year old and under males in USA they seem mentally disturbed….

  16. Yall are disgusting. Playing off the dead to further your political agenda. You're never getting our guns. Get that through your thick skulls. You all are wasting your last 2 brain cells on something that will never happen.

    Instead, let's come up with an actual solution. Such as armed guards or Police at all schools. The government can print 40 billion for war in Ukraine that they have no business in but can't spend to protect our own children here. Pathetic

  18. It takes a sick individual to shoot elementary school kids. Would love to be put in the same room as that M F'er.
