Do not imply that 3,000 children are murdered by someone wielding a firearm each year.
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, there was a total of 1,101 murders of people under 18 years of age in the United States?
This is all types of murders, not just those caused by firearms.
It includes all those moms that are a batshit crazy and decide to drown their babies in bathtubs.
It includes all those "baby daddys" who stab their children because they don't have a car seat for them.
It includes those women who need to strangle their children because her boyfriend doesn't like the kid bein' around.
Don't get me wrong, I think we need to get rid of all of the gunslingers we have in this country but more importantly, we need to get a handle on the mental illness and general stupidity that is rampant in our society.
Seems like every person with a grudge, a chip on their shoulder or just plain stupid feels compelled (or is the correct word "empowered"?) to murder someone that they think might have slighted them.
We have raised a generation of spoiled, entitled little brats who lash out when they don't get their way and We need to stop doing that. We need to take a step back in time and recognize that we should seriously consider living by the adage our parents and grandparents repeated all the time: "Spare the rod, spoil the child". We also need to recognize that it doesn't "take a village to raise a child", it takes two responsible, loving parents who are older than 16 and understand that their child isn't the second coming of Christ.
