My point is that kids are more exposed to deadly violence than adults!
That doesn't mean they are going out on the streets killing others.
But it sure make's it more accepted that people are killed in real life.

Evidence please.

That excessive and sometimes fatal violence used today are increasing is probably no surprise.
There are many studies that show this.
Even school fights are more violent nowadays.
Kicking the head, for example instead of a punch on the nose.
Massacres in schools often happens more and more often nowadays by young people.
Both in the US and Europe.

And non of that is support for your assertion that children are more exposed to violence than in the past.

And I asked for evidence, not assertions.

The overall rate of violence in the biggest box-office movies has more than doubled since 1950, the researchers report in a new study.

What would you expect? Law enforcement without the ability to protect themself and to protect innocent Citizens?
Yes it's sometimes manslaughter but the alternative...

What I expect is that every time a cop pulls a gun on anyone, there will be an investigation whether it was justified or not. And in cases where it was not justified, that cop gets reprimanded. In cases where the cop kills someone without a good reason, I expect that cop to be severely punished. The only way to curb unjustified police violence is when there are strict penalties on it.

Some people on this forum keep blabbering on and on about how America supposedly believes in strictly checking the power of the government because they believe all power corrupts. But strangely those same people are defending the practice of cops being able to gun down anyone they please without any consequences. Perhaps they have forgotten that the police is part of the government? Or perhaps they feel that lawyers and pencil pushers are a bigger threat to their liberty than those who are armed and have the legal rights to shoot citizens for as little reason as 'being afraid'.


That's called "police state", BTW. As usual, USA tries to accuse any non-convenient regime in those sins they know better by themselves... Police state and no real freedom well know there perhaps :)

Switch ON head and then realise that it's perhaps the single way how 2-year child could become killer. Only if surrounding adults so dumb that allow her mother to have a gun!

I was ALWAYS amazed when living in Western Europe and Asia, of the TOTAL Ignorance of their people, regarding the Culture and Governmental System, of the Dominant Country since 1945.


When A 'European' says, WWII could have been won Without U S A Help, and Only would have taken a Few More Years to Win, without this help, well, Amazement never should occur.

Yep.

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

I think this article shows clearly the difference between the danger of knives and the dangers of guns.

Guns don’t kill people. Dogs with guns kill people.

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. In Florida, people always seem to get off for shooting incidents, no matter the cause.

All anyone needs to know about the author/story ^^^^^^^

There isn't a license required to have sex. Perhaps you think there should be one. But then again, kids you can't raise correctly are just another symptom of personal irresponsibility, like letting a 12 month old child handle a firearm.

Don't you agree with 'Cultural Diversity'?

:)

Not if cultural diversity involves giving firearms to imbeciles.
