Meanwhile, acording to the Brady Campaign to prevent gun violence, right here in the gud ol USA...
Every Day on Average (ages 0-19)
Every day, 48 children and teens are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police intervention.
Every day, 7 children and teens die from gun violence:
5 are murdered
2 kill themselves.
Every day, 41 children and teens are shot and survive:
31 shot in an assault
1 survives a suicide attempt
8 are shot unintentionally
Asking this simple question is an important step every parent can take to help keep their child safe, and possibly save their child’s life. Read more about Asking Saves Kids (ASK).
Every Day on Average (all ages)
Every day, 297 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police intervention.
Every day, 89 people die from gun violence:

1 intent unknown.
Every day, 208 people are shot and survive:
151 shot in an assault

It's time for Congress to finish the job and expand Brady background checks to stop criminals and other dangerous people from getting guns in America. Learn more and sign the Finish the Job petition.
In One Year on Average (ages 0-19)
Over 17,000 (17,499) American children and teens are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, or by police intervention.
2,677 kids die from gun violence:
1,671 children and teens are murdered
827 children and teens kill themselves
124 children and teens killed unintentionally
24 are killed by police intervention
30 die but the intent was unknown
14,822 kids survive gun injuries:
11,420 are injured in an attack
280 survive a suicide attempt
3,061 are shot unintentionally
62 are shot in a police intervention
AND... The NRA sucessfully lobbied to prohibit the FBI from blocking gun sales to people on terrorist watch lists. Fly to UhmeriKKKa and but an arsenal at JihadiJoe's.
Maybe we should "Nuke" the NRA.

The NRA isn't plotting to murder as many as the non gun owners as they can and doesn't consider you as a non gun owner an infidel and only fit for slaughter or slave/second class status.
When they do strike here you can bet it will be in "gun free" zones.

Nope Jody not one bit. Far more upset about unwanted and abused kids than aborted fetuses.

So abused and unwanted children are less a problem for you than an abortion you can never personally experience? So coming from your Conservative political perspective social aid to feed all these birthed babies is evil hand outs to takers and deadbeats? And you have the unmitigate gall to call yourself a Christian. I pity you the day you meet your maker.

They harvest the brains

Jody - how many unwanted abandoned children have you adopted?
Let me guess - none.
May I suggest you seek out an Orphanage (yes, they still exist) - or better yet, open your house to Fostering unwanted kids.
Until you do either - your objection to merciful abortions is still just the rantings of a comfortable self-indulgent white man on a 100% pension.

So let's see... we've got all the usual nonsense wedge issues dragged out and beaten to death again.
Amazing how fast that works to divide and distract.
Again, in France, with the coordinated, and likely costly, murders you know.... Cui Bono?
