RE: What is really behind teenage mortality?

in #teenage6 years ago (edited)

All of the media focus about school shootings is to further the agenda to nullify the 2nd Amendment and take away guns. The stats tell a very different story than the headlines.

63 is the HIGHEST number of deaths per year in school shootings since 1992:

4,300 students die per year due to their own alcohol consumption:

If we took even a small fraction of the effort, money, and airtime that is being devoted to gun control and instead focused on keeping teens away from alcohol (and this includes many car accidents) we'd save WAY more lives than gun control ever would.
